All Mays (Ga.) athlete Jahquez Evans could think about at the time was getting the extra yardage in the open field. Evans had caught a pass in Mays’ state quarterfinal game last November against Lee County (Ga.). He saw defenders bounding closer, but Evans tried to make a move to pick up more yards.

Instead, a defender crashed into his ankle and broke it. The recovery since then has been tough. It’s a contributing factor in why Evans does not have more offers to this point. But he’s nearing full strength, and the time away from the field has given him more time to delve into his recruitment.
