'21 JUCO RB Tiyon Evans

[Maxwell865]

Honestly wish him the best… unless he goes to South Carolina. Then I hope we destroy him

 

[Ace]

Just a kid not willing to admit it’s his fault because of piss poor effort in class

I just heard that he is on schedule academically.
I think this is as one poster wrote just a case of immaturity. Not sure if he has burned bridges with our staff, but he is talented

 

[Vols4us]

This is what the portal creates with NIL in many cases - mercenaries. Whoever has the biggest need and most money gets the player. Being a juco before he arrived at UT there was no long term loyalty built for the program and his teammates.

He did not start over Small in games when Small’s was available

When he wasn't injured he did.

@volbeast33 {correct me if I’m giving wrong info} had heard that it wasn’t necessarily lack of academics but if I remember correctly he would not come to practices because he was upset at his Playing time / injury (called him a pre-Madonna) yet he was injured most of the time…. So…. Yeah

Dunno how he expects a fan base to be on board with his decision when they all supported him and he left the team because he couldn’t do what the staff asked of him. You aren’t going to play on any SEC team if you don’t want to come to practice. Sorry.

My person stated he was a huge diva and Juan’s noted that he was a locker room issue but not sure what all that means.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Kid was talented. Let's just agree on that and move on, he wanted easy way out it seems.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Immaturity displayed for everyone to see.

What was the tweet?

Definitely talented but obviously an idiot. Had a straight shot to the NFL if he just kept working and kept his attitude out of it. Now he doesn’t have that straight shot.

Obviously needs to think about the consequences of his actions if he wants to do what is best for his family.

 

[Ace]

Complicated situation - hopefully he figures it out wherever he lands. Hate to see so much talent go to waste.

I’m not for sure that he refused to practice but he wasn’t practicing…. He acted like a huge diva and my person doesn’t think staff hated to lose him.

 

[csprig9]

Bye bitch
Faster he’s gone the better UT will be

As I posted above, this was a complicated situation. Not a single reason for him leaving. From what I have heard you are correct. staff is not upset about losing him.

I mean outside of a possible touchdown or two more on the season we could of got, Wright developed a lot in Evans absence and posted similar numbers as Evans.

Thanks to that Wright is ahead of the curve for next year. Kid started running down hill. He breaks just one more tackle on a few of his runs he had to end the season and he turns them into 6 points.

Probably get hurt while he’s out running around exploring new campuses on visits

 

[T2P_Priceless]

When he wasn't injured he did.

Small started every single game he was healthy

 

[VolMike16]

Small started every single game he was healthy

Yeah, and had only 33 more carries in 3 more games. Evans is either dumb or thought he could go one and done and figured out he couldn't. Evans couldn't "go" in pretty much every important game while his counterpart was just as banged up.

He won’t make it past the NFL interview and they will want an honest take from our staff.

Yeah the dude is going to Louisville to do what we could do just as easily and more impressively here.

If you're not a fit for Heupels culture then you might just be an idiot

 

[peaygolf]

As Bob Segar once stated: turn the page

Nice!

Ehhhh the coaches have been mercenaries for well over a decade.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander

So mercenary coaches and mercenary players are going to ruin college football? That’s what I thought.

 

[I4Jay]

I think we’re going to see the best college sports on field product in the upcoming years.

Expanded playoffs will bring more parity to the sport IMO.

I do think we need to do something with coaches contracts to slow some of this bouncing around down.

 

[DaddyChad]

Idk if anyone has mentioned this but the kid had a couple of NIL meetings lined up and no showed them. He’s talented for sure, his academics are awful, will be surprised if he’s not in JUCO or out of football entirely next year.

He can say what he wants but if he was on track academically and healthy there’s a good chance he starts here. I wish him the best of luck though. People forget these are young dumb kids making dumb decisions, no reason to wish ill will upon an idiot; they already have the deck stacked against them in life.
