The 6-foot-8 forward played in 32 games and started four in his lone season at Tennessee, averaging 3.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. Evans shot 34.5% from the field and 29.5% from three-point range while playing just over 14 minutes per game.
Tennessee went 16-16 (8-10 SEC) in Evans’ lone season in Knoxville. The Vols were on the bubble in the middle of the conference play but lost five of their final seven games of the regular season before going one-and-done in the SEC Tournament.
Evans began his college career at Tulsa, playing a year for the Golden Hurricanes before transferring to Utah State. He spent two years at Utah State but only played one because he had to sit out a year after transferring from Tulsa.
The new season on The Bachelorette begins on Sunday, March 22 on ABC.
