Junior running back Zach Evans announced his departure from Ole Miss for the NFL Draft on Friday afternoon.
The Houston, Tex. native rushed for 936 yards and nine touchdowns in his only season at Ole Miss. He transferred to Oxford from TCU after two seasons as a Horned Frog where he rushed for 1,063 yards combined.
Evans carried the ball eight times for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Rebels loss to Texas Tech on Wednesday in the Texas Bowl.
It was assumed in the preseason Evans would be the go-to RB1 in the Ole Miss backfield though nagging injuries limited the talented back at times.
