New RB -Zach Evans from Minn.

[UNT86]

Looks like RB Zach Evans is transferring to UNT from Minnesota.  He is originally from Rockwall Heath.

He had 230 yards on 52 carries last year.

Coming out of HS had offers from Texas and Notre Dame. 

These are the portal transfers we should be targeting.  P5 offers! 

Now do defense.

My kind of transfer portal target. Has multiple years of eligibility, has seen the field a bit... good pickup.

[Jdawg48]

Out of HS he had offers from Texas, Iowa, Nevada, Houston, Arizona St. Just adding to the comment above me! 

 

So this guy is definitely a dude. Good pick up!

This is what NT needs to be doing.  We may not get them out of HS but we can bring them home when they get homesick or want a fresh start!

Welcome home Zach!

Just as long as this young man was on Coach Cobbs wish list.

BTW does anyone know the health status of our current RB's? Specifically, Farrar, Jackson and Johnson.

Farrar:  I don't know.  He is not listed in the participation report, and there are no notes regarding him during the 2023 season.  Was he injured?

Jackson: Is in the portal.

Johnson: Is in the portal.

Based on last year's roster and the portal, we should have Ragsdale, Farrar and Makenzie McGill returning with Adeyi, Jackson, Johnson and Adaway leaving via the portal.  It appears the recently committed Ashton Gray was recruited as a RB.  Is that correct?

4.4 YPC this season (though that’s limited work) 

Seems like we may have just found the new RB1!

Jackson and Johnson.....oh my!

Farrar. That's what I've been wondering. I believe he participated in the spring game.

Liking and accepting that it's a reality that you must deal with are different.

Just to be clear, no and you knew that before you asked.

I imagine not since it is a fairly common last name but I wonder if he has any connection to Erick Evans.

Considering it's in a RB thread, I think this would be another running back.
