Kornacki: Evans Sports Cool High-Top Fade, Similar On-Field Skills

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Boy, he sure doesn't look formidable. Michigan freshman tailback Chris Evans wears glasses off the field for his farsightedness and contact lenses, which he "hates," during games. He sports a Will Smith high-top fade copied from a show he enjoys watching in re-runs, "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," and has worn it since sixth grade.
