Top JUCO running back signs with Tennessee

Tennessee Vols’ football recruiting news.

The early signing period has kicked off and goes through Dec. 18.

Tennessee secured another signee of the early signing period Wednesday morning.

Tiyon Evans, a 5-foot-9, 210-pound running back, is rated No. 1 at his position among JUCO players.

He is from Hutchinson Community College in Hutchinson, Kansas.

Hutchinson running backs coach Greg Cross previously discussedwhat type of player Tennessee is getting with Evans.

“Tiyon is special,” Cross told Vols Wire. “If I had to describe the type of back he is, he is versatile and is able to make defenders miss and has power to lower his shoulder.”

The early signing period takes place Dec. 16-18 for the 2021 recruiting class. National signing day is slated for Feb. 3.
