Oregon State 305-pound DT Craig Evans winning fans one word at a time

Defensive tackle Craig Evans chose Oregon State over a host of others last week, and joined me on the Bald Faced Truth radio show (12-3p on 750-AM and 102.9-FM) on Monday for a deep dive.

Listen to the full interview here.

I'm suddenly a big fan of Evans, who began the interview with a, "Merry Christmas boss man, how we doin'?" and ended by explaining how he essentially raised himself. No mother in the picture. No father.

"Just God and me," he said.

Evans is 6-foot-3 and 305 pounds. He's an outstanding defensive tackle, who left Michigan State as a sophomore and went to Sun Prairie Community College (Arizona) before transferring to Oregon State.
