Stewart joins 4-star all-purpose running back Taj Griffin, 4-star offensive guard Zach Okun, 3-star tight end Jacob Breeland and 3-star offensive guard Shane Lemieux.
Stewart was offered by the Ducks back in March and took an unofficial visit to Oregon earlier in the week before finally pulling the trigger. He announced both his visit and the subsequent commitment via his twitter account.
Stewart is the younger brother of Utah Utes wide receiver Dres Anderson, who made 53 receptions for 1,002 yards and seven touchdowns last season.
