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.
