re: Zach Evans

I’ve watched every game Zach’s played in for the past two years. He’s a dynamic runner with good patience and burst through the line, has really good balance and elusiveness. Good but not amazing top-end speed but accelerates really quickly if given a sliver of daylight. If he’s in the open field either breaking through the line or catching the swing pass, he reads his blocks well and takes it to the house almost all the time. He’s 6’ and can seem a little stiff I suppose because he sometimes runs a little high. But when he does make contact he almost always breaks tackles or falls forward for 3-4 more yards. He’s used to just shedding tacklers but I’m sure he’ll work on pad level as he faces bigger and stronger college competition. He’s 205 right now but he’s got another 1.5 years before he graduates and he’s put on 10 solid pounds in the past year and could put on another 10 before he graduates. Of course, he’s a super lean 205. He hasn’t filled out yet. I hope to see him in the P&G but will be a supporter of him no matter where he ends up. Hopefully K’Lavon and Eric show him what the Tiger Nation is all about this weekend. He’s got every school after him right now and UT and A&M are all over him, but he’s just soaking it up and letting the process play out. He probably won’t decide until signing day next year.
