And it's not as if Michigan throws the ball a lot more than Stanford. Harbaugh and Shaw want to run more or less the same offense. Last year Michigan threw for 26 more yards per game, and that only because UM didn't have the run game Harbaugh would like.
While Harbaugh might have recruited wide receivers who are more highly rated than Stewart, that doesn't mean Harbaugh has over-recruited him. Given Harbaugh's emphasis on the run game (and thus on wide receivers who can run-block), Stewart, who is 6'3.5" and could probably put 200 lbs on his frame, might be a better fit for Harbaugh's scheme than a couple of the guys who did commit to Michigan.
Ultimately, we have no idea where Stewart is in the WR pecking order for Michigan. Remember, Harbaugh showed no hesitation to start several walk-on wide receivers at Stanford, and those tended to be bigger "possession reveiver" guys who could run-block.
