JONATHON STEWART, RB - OREGON

G.M. - tbell61 -- The departure of Kevin Jones obviously opens up a spot at the position, and we feel Stewart was the best available back on the board.  A junior at Oregon, he's 5'11", 225, is strong, has good inside speed, and excellent receiving skills.  We feel he can be our feature back.
