Ole Miss Rebels junior running back Zach Evans has announced that he will declare for the 2023 NFL Draft. This is following the team’s 42-25 loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the TaxAct Texas Bowl. Evans was a composite top-three running back in the 2020 recruiting class. He originally committed to the TCU Horned Frogs where he played in 2020 and 2021. Evans transferred to Ole Miss where he played this season for the program. This season he was the team’s second-leading rusher behind running back Quinshon Judkins. Evans will likely be a late day two or day three selection.

In his college football career with the TCU Horned Frogs and Ole Miss Rebels, Zach Evans carried the ball 290 times for 1,999 yards and 18 touchdowns. He also caught 30 passes for 325 yards and two touchdowns in his career. Evans had a good college football career and will have some value when he gets to the NFL. His former high school rankings could also help him get drafted a little higher because of his potential. He will begin his journey toward playing professional football with this move.
