Who is Akayleb Evans?

Sunday night there was a whirlwind experience for the Georgia faithful with regards to the NCAA transfer portal and the defensive back room.

Reports surfaced that former Alabama defensive back Brandon Turnage is not expected to remain at Georgia. Turnage then took to Twitter to simply state, "Relax with the rumors," which led some to believe the reports to be untrue.

However, coincidentally enough, moments later, Georgia extended an offer to Tulsa cornerback Akayleb Evans and according to sources has increased the heat on the recruitment of the talented young defensive back.

Evans has two years of eligibility remaining and fits the physical description of a Georgia cornerback. This is certainly a name to know here for Georgia.
