It’s been a bit of a frustrating season for Tiyon Evans, who appeared set to lead the Tennessee backfield in 2021. The JUCO transfer exploded onto the scene against Bowling Green with 120 yards, but injuries have plagued him since.
Evans returned to action against Tennessee Tech, and put up back to back 100 yard games against Missouri and South Carolina. He then missed the Ole Miss matchup, playing sparingly against Alabama, and handled just one carry against Kentucky. He did not play against Georgia.
Injury updates are hard to get out of Josh Heupel, but we did get somewhat of a tidbit today on the SEC conference call.
