The Canes continued to expand their board at linebacker last month by offering 2020 3-star ATH JaQues Evans, who plays both linebacker and tight end for Dublin High in Georgia. Miami tight end coach Stephen Field was the one that extended him the good news over the phone after watching him practice, saying he saw Evans fitting best as a linebacker at UM.
“It was very exciting to hear the news,” Evans said. “My coach got a call while he was taping up my wrist after practice. Coach Field wanted to talk to me and to hear him say I had an offer brought a smile.”
As a guy that plays both offense and defense, how would Evans describe his style of play on the defensive unit?
“I’m like a drop-end type player I’d say.”
The 6-2 225 pound prospect had a big spring which saw him start to land Power 5 offers from schools such as Tennessee and Arizona State in addition to Miami. It’s clear the Canes have piqued Evans’ interest and he says he will consider them going forward.
“My interest is high, they are one of the schools that I will be looking into,” Evans said of UM. “The football program is very nice from what I’ve seen.”
With a crowded linebacker board right now, one way to standout would be to come visit for Paradise Camp and impress the coaches in person. One such LB the Canes are after includes Evans’ teammate at Dublin in Romello Height, who will be on campus this weekend for an official visit.
“As of now, I don’t know if I can make it to Paradise, but I’m planning to visit soon,” Evans said.
Evans hasn’t really visited many schools yet and is still in the early stages of his recruitment, so a decision isn’t imminent for him.
“I’m not sure when I’ll have a final decision yet.”
