Five-star RB Zach Evans finally makes commitment

Five-star running back Zach Evans has finally made his commitment after initially being considered by the Georgia Bulldogs.

Five-star running back Zach Evans has finally made his commitment in what has been the longest odyssey for any recruit in the class of 2020. Evans was initially expected to sign with the Georgia Bulldogs back at the Under Armour All-American Game.

Now, he has committed to play for the TCU Horned Frogs. Evans is arguably the top running back in the class of 2020. He has loads of talent and is staying close to home.

Evans played high school football at North Shore in Houston, Texas. Evans had some off-the-field issues in high school that caused Georgia to not be interested in signing him.

Evans’ commitment to TCU is good news for Georgia Bulldog fans. Evans won’t be the one who got away, but stayed or transferred in the SEC.

Georgia signed a pair of running backs in the class of 2020 and is looking to replace second round pick D’Andre Swift. Evans would have been ideal, but it wasn’t meant to be. Zamir White, James Cook, and Kenny McIntosh are favored to lead the Dawgs in carries next season.

Watch: Chris Tyree Takes Second Place in Under Armour Fastest Man Competition

You don’t win football games by lining up and running 40 yards straight ahead time after time but in a competition this is promising for a player who has plenty of film that shows he’s more than just a sprinter in shoulder pads.

If you’ve heard Brian Kelly in recent days he’s mentioned he believes Notre Dame can take another step still in terms of their recruiting.  He pretty much has stated that they’re in a really good place but can still take it a step further.

One place where they improved recruiting this most recent class was at the running back position where they were able to sign Chris Tyree of Chester, Virginia, the highest rated running back to choose Notre Dame during Kelly’s tenure.

Tyree is participating in the Under Armour All-American Game this Thursday in Orlando where he was selected to be a game captain.

In preparation for Thursday’s event practices have been taking place in Orlando as day two (Monday, 12/30) brought about the annual fastest man competition.

Tyree didn’t disappoint, finishing second by a nose to Arian Smith, a future Georgia Bulldog.

You don’t win football games by lining up and running 40 yards straight ahead time after time but in a competition this is promising for a player who has plenty of film that shows he’s more than just a sprinter in shoulder pads.

Rivals Recruiting Director Mike Farrell went as far to call Tyree an immediate impact for Notre Dame.

Practices continue Tuesday before Thursday’s game at the same venue Notre Dame just got done beating Iowa State in.
