Houston North Shore soon-to-be junior Zach Evans, a 2020 recruit, is already one of the most sought after athletes in the country. The Texas Longhorns have prioritized him over every RB in the country, if not any recruit at any position in the country. Early (read: premature) indications suggest that it will be a Texas-LSU battle, with Texas A&M, OU and a host of prominent national suitors also making their case.
I’m definitely of the 97% of running backs are a creation of their environment school, but some are special enough to create their own ecosystem. As a 5-11, 195 pound sophomore who compiled 27 touchdowns last year, Evans appears to be the latter variety.
