Mike Evans’ college career is on pause at the moment, but the wide receiver has options.
Evans, a Franklin Regional alum who played in three games in two years at Robert Morris and did not have any receptions as a walk-on at West Virginia, reentered the NCAA transfer portal in 2022.
He lists recent offers from UMass and Bowling Green. Evans has three years of eligibility remaining.
