With names like Paxton Lynch, Blake Bortles, Keenan Reynolds, Shane Carden and Teddy Bridgewater among its alumni, the American Athletic Conference has been a quarterback-friendly league in its relatively brief history.
By the time the 2016 season is finished, Dane Evans may well stand above all of the rest in The American’s record book. After splitting time behind center as a redshirt freshman, Evans took over as the starter in 2014, coinciding with Tulsa’s entry to the conference.
Evans enjoyed a fine season in his first year as the starter, throwing for 3,102 yards and 23 touchdowns.
