The Miami Hurricanes have their eyes set on a former SEC commit. Four-star wide receiver Tryan Evans has decommitted from the Tennessee Volunteers as the Hurricanes look to scoop in and land the commitment of the talented receiver.

"After a lot of prayer and thought, I’ve decided to decommit from the University of Tennessee," wrote Evans. "Thank you to Coach (Josh) Heupel, Coach Kelsey Pope, Coach Joey Halzle, and the entire Vol staff for believing in me. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me and my family."

Evans, 6-foot-3, 185 lbs from Cornelius, NC, is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 81 wide receiver in the nation and had been committed to the Volunteers since early January. 

The Hurricanes liked his size, something they desperately lack in their receiver room. They have a ton of talented players, but the size and jump ball ability of some are not there, and Evans would be a perfect fit for the future Hurricanes offense.

The Hurricanes already have 13 commits so far and are ranked as the No. 8 team for the 2026 recruiting class. This addition, if they do land him, won't be an ultra-metric jump for them, but it will solidify where they stand in the top ten.
