Mike Gundy and Co. have sights set on the No. 3 junior college player in the nation.
Tiyon Evans announced and Oklahoma state offer Tuesday. Out of Hutchinson Community College (Kansas), Evans is the top-ranked running back at the junior college level.
As a freshman at Hutch last season, Evans ran for 538 yards and nine touchdowns on just 61 carries. That’s 8.8 yards per carry. He also scored on two of his 18 kick returns.
Evans’ return ability is made all the more impressive because he is listed at 5-foot-9, 225 pounds. That would make him the heaviest running back on OSU’s roster by nearly 10 pounds.
