5-star running back Zachary Evans’ recruitment has been tough to keep up with.
What we do know is that Evans signed with Georgia and then the two parties agreed to release the running back from his National Letter of Intent, therefore reopening Evans’ recruitment.
Whether or not Georgia is still going after the Houston, Texas product is unknown, but based on reports it sounds like Georgia is still in it.
This past weekend, Evans paid a visit to Knoxville to visit with the Tennessee coaching staff.

This week, Vols head coach Jeremy Pruitt then tried to visit with Evans and his family in Houston. Pruitt also spent time visiting recruits at North Shore High School, where Evans went before finishing his course load early.
However, according to a report from Trey Wallace, a radio personality with FoxSports Knoxville, the visit did not as planned for Pruitt.
Per Wallace, Pruitt tried to visit with Evans’ family but it did not work out.
Jeremy Pruitt stopped by North Shore HS in Houston Monday morning. He visited with 2021 and 2022 prospects, including 4⭐️ OG Jaeden Roberts.
Tennessee coaches thought they were going to get an opportunity to meet with Zach Evans family, but that fell through. To be continued…

The Evans visit was supposed to happen off-campus. It didn’t, Tennessee will try again I imagine.

Personally, I don’t see a scenario where Evans ends up a Volunteer. Plans falling through this close to signing day is never a good sign, but expect Pruitt to keep trying for the talented back.
