A little of both and he was shown that OL which is a big factor for him.

TN running backs next year!

Evans is an enigmatic, free-spirited guy who reminds me of Arian Foster personality-wise. Interesting read on him from last summer:

Evans still doesn’t watch much football in his free time. What he does occasionally take in is highlights of running backs he respects like Petersen, Leonard Fournette and Ezekiel Elliott; Elliott and Evans share the same “Zeke” moniker – a nickname of Evans’ since youth. Evans also closely follows his 2020 competition, watching their highlights and mimicking their best moves in his mind.

“It wasn’t football for Zachary,” Sterling said. “It’s really still not. He’s really good at it, but football is just not him. He don’t watch football. He don’t talk about football. None of that. I won’t say it’s not something he doesn’t want to do, because of course he wants to do it. But he just wasn’t attracted to it. It just didn’t catch his attention.”

Ask Evans what he wants to be known for, and he starts with the cookie cutter answer of a “great player” before rolling toward more intriguing territory. “I want people to realize I’m genuine. No matter what when you get Zach, you get 100 percent Zach. You get the football player. You get everything.”

The phrase “everything” means many things to the masses who follow Evans. He’s the No. 1 running back in the country. He’s the next Adrian Petersen. He’s a recruiting mystery. He’s a recruiting headache. He’s an artist. He’s someone who’s lost people. He’s someone who hurts. He’s young with too much responsibility. He’s a soon-to-be high school senior with the profile of a legendary figure.

JMO but if we're serious about signing another RB, I'd prefer that we offer Jalen White, who I believe is tremendously underrated and more likely to be a reliable team player than Evans. Probably too late, though, given his upcoming visits to Florida and Florida State.

I think I'm spot on about this kid. The more I read about him.

I actually like that he doesn't, eat sleep and breathe football. But what else is he filling his perosnal time with? How committed is he to the "team"?

He as the "Achilles " mindset. Wants to be remembered as a great man who stood on his own. Would fight for the team but not necessarily with them.

I'm happy with what we have...
I don't know...we'll see I guess.

Herm Edwards and Arizona State would be the exact right place for this kid imo.

However, Pruitt is also another good option.

This is my mindset about every recruit.

Texas already has a 5* RB in Bijan Robinson.

You can never have enough backs

 

[GetEmVols]

He’s visiting UT soon. Read the thread

AV said we are visiting him. I haven’t seen anything about him visiting us.

Pruitt’s sales pitch...”you get to play Georgia every year while we’re preparing you for the NFL”

Evans...”I’m in. Where do I sign?”

I should have done this....****

Did it once, most complete game I ever played. Rushed for over 200 yds in one half.

 

[Pepe]

I'm okay with him as long as he doesn't speak pterodactyl.

On madden probably.

Turning Madden into a drinking game can be a bad idea. Speaking from past experience.

I liked Chase Brice coming out of Hs but I don’t think it makes sense for us to take him as a grad transfer and it reallly doesn’t make sense for him to come here with the talent potential of our QB room. Is there a set in stone guy? No but there a lot of talented competition that is more talented physically than he is. His intangibles is what was always intriguing. He was never scared to compete though as he wouldn’t have went to Clemson in first place if he was.

Love when nerds find it hard to believe others could have been great athletes. The idea is so foreign to them it's hilarious. Yes former college and professional athletes use this board.

It was a joke hoss. No need to get upset. Just giving you a hard time.

When did talk of Evans and UT begin?

Was this before or after throwing a football over that mountain?

Marlin Lane #4 is that you? Otherwise bragging about playing D3 on a message board is SUPER cool.

If you can’t laugh at that then your wrong

The pterodactyl thing was where Arian Foster started going nuts
