Evans

With Derion Kendrick already committing to Georgia a week or so ago, Evans was likely the best CB left on the transfer market. Evans (6'2/188) played a key role in a surprisingly good Tulsa defense, starting 23 games over his career -- and it would have been more if not for a season-ending shoulder injury in 2019. Last season, Evans racked up 29 tackles as well as three passes defended and a forced fumble. Evans should be able to find a starting role right away with the Tigers.

Just recently, Evans (6'2/188) released his top-five potential schools as transfer destinations. Texas, Missouri, Texas Tech, Jackson State, and Notre Dame made Evans’ final list. Notre Dame looks to be up for an official visit now as Evans will stop by in South Bend starting on Wednesday, June 2nd. Evans’ trip is said to be a multi-day trip, though it’s unclear exactly when the trip will end. Evans is one of the best defensive transfers left on the market, so this should be a good pull for Notre Dame, if they can get him.

Evans (6'2/188) recently entered his name into the transfer portal and is already set to release his top-five potential schools on Sunday. Evans was a two-year starter on an interesting Tulsa defense and it would be no surprise to see him jump up tot he Power Five level, similar to former Troy (and now Texas Tech) WR Kaylon Geiger. Stay tune don Sunday for Evans’ announcement.

Evans (6'2/188) has logged 23 career starts for the Golden Hurricane while recording 82 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble. The former two-star recruit has received offers from notable Power Five programs such as Texas, Missouri, Illinois and Nebraska. However The Athletic speculates Notre Dame, who just offered Evans a scholarship last week, is the current favorite to secure his services.
