The competition for one of the top remaining players in the NCAA transfer portal is reportedly thinning.
Texas A&M wide receiver Evan Stewart, who entered the portal earlier this month, is one of the most coveted transfer players remaining on the market.
Stewart is a former five-star recruit who was rated as the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2022 recruiting class.
On3's Pete Nakos suggested on Tuesday that Alabama and Texas, two programs that were thought to be potential front runners for Stewart, aren't believed to be "viable options" for the talented wide receiver.
Nakos mentioned the Tennessee Vols among the programs that he's "heard" for Stewart.
“I’ve heard Texas and Alabama rumored. And I’ve also been told by sources that those at not really viable options," said Nakos on Andy Staples On3. "In recent days, I’ve heard Florida State thrown out there. I’ve heard Ole Miss. I’ve heard Tennessee. I’ve heard USC. I’ve heard Oregon."
“I think we’ll get a better feel in the days to come but I will tell you right now. I don’t think he lands at Texas or Alabama," added Nakos.
Stewart, who is one of the most talented wide receivers in the nation, would obviously be a huge addition for the Vols. But landing Stewart would likely mean that Tennessee would have to win an NIL bidding war, something the Vols haven't seemed interested in doing when it comes to transfer players.
That's why it seems unlikely that Stewart ultimately lands on Rocky Top. But for now, the Vols appear to at least be still in the mix for the Aggies transfer.
