The Spring transfer window is set to open on April 16 and close again on April 30. WKU has not yet announced a schedule for Spring practices or a date for a Spring Game, as of February 21.

In 41 games over four seasons at WKU, Evans totaled 182 tackles with 12 sacks, 19 TFLs, and five fumble recoveries. He was an All-CUSA First Team selection in 2022. Evans was hampered by injury in 2023, only appearing in six games. 

The Hilltoppers have the former three-star recruit listed at 6'2" and 250 pounds.

Evans came to WKU out of Georgia's Dublin High School in 2020, but retained his freshman season of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Evans then played each of the last three seasons for WKU. Therefore, Evans should have one season of eligibility remaining.
