Early and personal life
Jonathan Stewart is the son of Jonathan Stewart and Lora Faison. His parents divorced when he was 13 and his father subsequently moved to Georgia. Stewart joined a flag football team in fifth grade where he began to emulate his idol Barry Sanders

Stewart began to fill out in the eighth grade and by the time he entered Timberline High School in Lacey, Washington, he was a starter on the varsity team. By the time he finished high school, Stewart had amassed 7,755 yards rushing and 95 touchdowns. As a senior, he ran for 2,301 yards and reached the end zone 32 times. He was named The Washington Class 3A offensive co-player of the year by WashingtonPrep.com and state Gatorade Player-of-the-Year recipient. The Seattle Times called him the state's fifth greatest running back of all-time.

Despite interest from schools such as the University of Southern California, University of Notre Dame and Ohio State University, Stewart decided on the nearby beautiful Pacific Northwest Eugene and the University of Oregon.

Stewart's phenomenal athletic ability has him high on NFL scouts' radar screens. Stewart has been hand-timed at 4.34 seconds in the 40 yard dash, has bench pressed 410 pounds, and has a 38.5 inch vertical leap (second in school history).

University of Oregon
2005 season
Stewart's true freshman season was highlighted by a pair of kickoff return touchdowns which made him the program's first player to ever return more than one kickoff for a score. Stewart ended up leading the nation in kickoff return average (33.7 yards-per-return).

Stewart finished his freshman campaign with nine total touchdowns (six rushing, one receiving, and two kickoff returns) despite touching the football only 72 times. His 54 points made him the team's third leading scorer. An ankle injury suffered in a game against Montana would force him to miss action in two games and render him less than 100% in others.

2006 season
Stewart finished his sophomore season as the team's leading rusher. He finished 19 yards shy of 1,000 yards rushing despite missing some time due to lingering ankle injuries. He recorded five 100 yard games in the season and the Ducks were 5-0 in those games. Stewart also caught 20 passes for 144 yards including a touchdown and he again finished near the top nationally in kickoff returning (6th in the country). In Oregon's controversial win against the University of Oklahoma, Stewart impressed, rushing for 144 yards and a touchdown. In the final regular season game against rival Oregon State University, Stewart rushed for 94 yards and three touchdowns. He finished the season with 10 rushing touchdowns and one receiving score.

2007 season
Stewart and the Ducks opened the 2007 campaign 4-0, with wins over Houston, Michigan (in Ann Arbor), Fresno State and Stanford. Against Michigan, Stewart ran for 111 yards and a touchdown on just 15 carries. He followed up that performance with 165 yards rushing and two touchdowns on just 17 carries. Stewart's second touchdown, an 88-yard scamper, was the longest run ever in the 41-year history of Autzen Stadium. The following week against Stanford, Stewart picked up a career best 310 all-purpose yards, including 160 yards rushing and a ten yard touchdown run. In Oregon's showdown against Cal, Stewart ran for 120 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries, in a 31-24 loss to the Golden Bears. Stewart chipped in 66 rushing yards in Oregon's 53-7 drubbing of Washington State, then had a record setting day against rival Washington. Stewart had a career high 32 carries for 251 yards and two touchdowns, the latter being the second highest single game total in Oregon's history. Stewart continued his impressive play with a 103 yard, 25 carry, two touchdown performance against USC in Oregon's 24-17 home win. Against then #4 ranked Arizona State, Stewart ran for 99 yards on 21 carries (including a 33-yard touchdown scamper), caught two passes for 26 yards and another score, and returned five kicks for 122 yards. Stewart concluded his record setting season with a career high 39 carries against rival Oregon State, accumulating 163 yards along the way. In Oregon's 56-21 bowl win over South Florida, Stewart ran for a career high 253 yards, setting a Sun Bowl record for rushing yards and earning him the C.M. Hendricks Most Valuable Player award.

At the end of the 2007 regular season, Stewart was selected to the All-Pacific-10 Conference first team by league coaches. He also garnered All-America notice.

2008 NFL Draft
A number of mock draft sites are projecting Stewart to be among the top running backs selected in this year's NFL Draft. On January 11, 2008, Stewart announced his decision to forego his senior season at Oregon and to enter the Draft.
