2. Evan Stewart flirts with 200 yards

This one kind of goes hand-in-hand with the King prediction, but it still applies. Evan Stewart looked impressive in the season opener. Even though he didn’t put up big numbers, he showed reliable hands and great body control.

He showed flashes of his elite receiving potential in Week 1 and he is ready to build off of that in a big way. In fact, I think he builds off that in a historical way. 100 yards should be the goal, but 200 yards is well within reach in my opinion.

This Mountaineer secondary is…..bad. Like, really bad. It’s not good, at all. This receiver group should have an absolute field day, and Stewart will be the ringleader. The true freshman should have no problem creating separation against a below average defense, and with Ainias Smith garnering the majority of the attention, Stewart will blow up and cement himself as the best true freshman receiver in the league, if he wasn’t already.
