Oregon football wide receiver Evan Stewart's driver's license was suspended for missing multiple traffic violation court dates at the time of his DUII arrest Oct. 18.
According to a a report by Lookout Eugene-Springfield, Stewart's license was suspended as of March 31 because he failed to appear in Coburg Municipal Court for a speeding violation. Stewart's driving record, obtained by Lookout, indicates he drove 83 miles per hour in a 65 MPH zone on Nov. 26, 2025.
Stewart also failed to appear in Eugene Municipal Court after an illegal window tint charge Dec. 24, 2025, per the driving record. The Eugene case lists a second license suspension starting April 30.
Eugene Municipal Court records also show Stewart failed to carry vehicle registration and both cases are in "collections."
At 5 a.m. Oct. 18, following the Ducks' 17-14 victory over the Nebraska, Stewart was stopped by Springfield police on Highway 126 near Mohawk Boulevard. The Springfield officer suspected impairment and began a DUII investigation and arrested Stewart.
Oregon football coach Dan Lanning spoke about Stewart's arrest during his Monday press conference and addressed other unsubstantiated rumors involving other players associated around that night.
"There's an incident this weekend that didn't match our standard here in our program," Lanning said. "There will be appropriate action taken. We're still gathering some details with what that situation looks like, but that'll be handled internally. I'm not going to respond to any other questions about that, gonna handle that with our guys.
"There's an expectation of how you have to act and how you need to perform in our program and it overshadows the success that we had on Saturday, which is disappointing. But that will be handled by us internally and it's not something I'm going to speak on publicly."
Stewart did not play in Oregon's win against Nebraska Oct. 17 and is listed as out on Oregon's availability report ahead of the Ducks' game versus Illinois.
Oregon tight end Jamari Johnson ticketed for speeding on the same night as Stewart's arrest
Roughly an hour before Stewart's arrest in Springfield, tight end Jamari Johnson was cited for a speed limit violation at 3:51 a.m. in Springfield, per online court records.
The case number for Johnson's citation matches that of a separate high-speed pursuit Springfield police are investigating, but neither Johnson or Stewart are believed to be suspected drivers in that case, Springfield police told The Oregonian.
"He was not involved in the high-speed pursuit," Springfield police deputy chief George Crolly said of Johnson to The Oregonian. "We are still seeking the drivers in that case. He was stopped well before Mr. Stewart's arrest, so he was not part of the group of cars that were in the area when Mr. Stewart was stopped."
A high-speed chase involving police occurred around 3:51 a.m. Sunday, according to police dispatch logs. Shortly after an abandoned vehicle from the chase was found, Stewart was pulled over and arrested for DUII around 5 a.m.
Springfield PD told The Oregonian that a group of Oregon football players left the nearby area when police discovered the vehicle. Currently, no Oregon football players have been named suspects in the case.
Johnson's citation lists a $440 fine and does not disclose how fast Johnson was traveling over the speed limit.
