Erick Evans Update

[Harry]

Looks like Mr. Evans has landed at Tennessee State.  Wishing him well.  Go Tigers!

[North Texas Shep]

Do they not have a jersey that will fit him there at Tennessee State? No way he is getting pads in there.

[Withers940]

pardon my ignorance but who was Erick Evans again?

[Travis]

He is going to do good things for them this season.  I liked him a lot. so fast!

[GMG24]

Yeah he will be able to, those are the new styles of jerseys.. very tough to get the pads on but usually get some help from 1 or 2 GAs etc.  

[MeanGreenTexan]

He saw the writing on the wall.  The future is Jeff Wilson, and while Jimmerson is here with Wilson, there were going to be few (if any) carries for Evans.

[Marty]

Best of luck Erick!

pardon my ignorance but who was Erick Evans again?

Yes.  Who is he?

[forevereagle]

Yes.  Who is he?

He was a running back that had a lot of promise, but the crowded roster caused him to transfer.

[Mean Green 93-98]

And he is Zed Evans' brother, the safety transfer we had from Louisville.

[GangGreen]

Yes.  Who is he?

He ran for a 53 yd touchdown against SMU last year.

[Harry]

He showed a lot of promise but got caught up in  the numbers game I believe.

[drex]

Didn't everyone have 53 years runs against SMU last year?

[greenminer]

Didn't everyone have 53 years runs against SMU last year?

I am almost certain this is the case.  Skladany had a 45 yard run, too, and boomerang'd that dry erase board across the face of the entire SMU offensive staff before he asked them to fetch some Chipotle guacamole.

Seriously, I think some were posting that Evans was the fastest kid on the team? I could be remembering wrong.

Best wishes to him.

[SilverEagle]

I missed him during spring practice. I just assumed that he was nursing an injury. Didn't know he transferred. Like Harry said, great potential. I believe he averaged 10 yards per carry in High School (Seagoville?). 

Eric Evans, (formerly) #24 on your program. I wish him well.

He  is the one who got away.  

2014 stats  -  rushed 24 times for 204 yards  and 3 TDs

He just needed a chance.  

He could put up some big numbers the next 3 years.

considering what our rbs looked like last season and a true freshman emerged as our top back, he should have had more opportunities. Sad, but good luck to him.  If He gets those hands and ball security together he can be real explosive.  Fastest player on the team.  Legit 4.3 speed.
