Former App State running back Darrynton Evans and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither announced fundraising campaigns for charity along their journeys to the NFL.
Evans is partnering with the Endometrial Cancer Action Network for African-Americans in honor of his mother, who was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in July 2019.
“My mom is the toughest person I know,” Evans said in a press release. “Nothing ever seems to faze her. So, in late July of 2019, right before my junior year at App State, when we found out that she had endometrial cancer, it floored us. Luckily, she caught it early and found great doctors and treatment.
