KaTron Evans
(DT) Baltimore, MD
6’4, 315
Commit: 5/9/20
4-star 247 Composite/Rivals/ESPN
Josh Ward’s Analysis: Evans is a powerful defensive lineman who will arrive on campus with the size to play in the SEC. Look for Evans to compete for playing time early in his Tennessee career.
Eric Cain’s Analysis: KaTron Evans never batted an eye when Jeremy Pruitt fired Jimmy Brumbaugh four games into his first-year and stayed true over the six-game losing skid. Understandably, Evans sees the opportunity to play early on and to learn from his former high school teammate, current Vol Dominic Bailey. Evans has good size (6-5, 315) and can play multiple techniques across the DL. I like his hand placement and attack off the line of scrimmage.
