Scouting Report

Notre Dame · 2025 draft class

Evans is a versatile tight end with excellent size and receiving ability. He presents a large target with a wide catch radius and reliable hands to secure throws away from his frame. His route running is developing, showing good understanding of leverage and how to find soft spots in zone coverage. After the catch, Evans demonstrates good contact balance and the ability to gain additional yardage. As a blocker, he shows willingness and improving technique, using his size and length to seal defenders in the run game. His red zone presence is notable, using his frame to box out defenders and make contested catches.
