Video: Former Duke and Ohio State forward Sean Stewart greets Oregon Ducks fans from his first practice

Sean Stewart has officially begun the next chapter of his college basketball journey, representing the Oregon Ducks after previously playing at Duke and Ohio State. The 6-foot-9 forward greeted fans from his first practice in Eugene in a video posted by the Ducks’ Instagram page on Saturday.

“What’s up Duck fans, Sean Stewart here, forward from Orlando, Florida," Stewart said. "Super excited to be here in Eugene, here working in the summer. Let’s get the season started."

The short clip was posted alongside other images of Stewart putting in work during his early sessions with the team.

Stewart arrived at Duke as a five-star recruit and was part of the Blue Devils' 2023-24 roster, where he showed flashes in limited minutes off the bench. Despite the promise, he transferred to Ohio State in search of more playing time and he got just that. He started all 30 games he played for Ohio, averaging 18.4 minutes with 5.7 points and 5.8 rebounds.

Unfortunately, his stint with the Buckeyes was short-lived, and he entered the transfer portal again in April 2025.

Just weeks later, Stewart committed to Oregon, making it his third stop in college basketball. His move to Eugene gives him a fresh start and a real opportunity to make an impact in the Pac-12.

Stewart brings versatility, length, and a high motor, qualities that Oregon head coach Dana Altman values in his system. Coincidentally, it was against the Ducks he scored his season-high (14 points) in the 2025-25 campaign. He also contributed nine rebounds in the 73-71 loss to Oregon.

Across his career at the Division I level, he has averaged 4.1 points and 4.4 rebounds in 63 games.
