At No. 223 overall, the Los Angeles Rams selected Wingate punter Ethan Evans – a name unfamiliar to fans. He was the first Division II player drafted this year, but the Rams feel they’ve uncovered a diamond in the rough with the powerful punter.
During his senior season in 2022, he punted 77 times for a total of 3,518 yards, an average of 45.7 yards per punt with more than half of those punts (39) being downed inside the 20-yard line.
Evans is the Rams’ only punter on the roster right now so all indications are that he will be their guy in 2023. It’s easy to see why when watching the way he kicked last season at Wingate.
Check out highlights from 2022, which include booming punts, field goal attempts (he went 10 for 18 as a senior) and kickoffs.
