Fresh Faces On The Forty: Transfer wing Amari Evans
Amari Evans leads this edition of Fresh Faces on the Forty. The 6-8 wing brings elite length and defensive ability, much like Elyjah Freeman.
As we continue making our way through the new Longhorns around Moody Center, it’s time for Amari Evans. The former Tennessee Volunteer comes into Austin as a true defensive specialist that can guard any position. Offensively, he has quite a ways to go but the Longhorns are unlikely to need Evans to carry a major load on that side of the ball.
He’s slated to be a true defensive first wing that can consistently draw the other teams top offensive option. 2025 Stats: 4. 1 PPG, 3.
2 REB, 1 STL, 41. 9% FG percentage. Evans had an up and down campaign last season but did have major flashes.
He notched 24 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals against Vanderbilt while shooting 50% from the field. He also topped 14 points twice, including a perfect shooting performance against Arkansas. Outside of that, he was not overly productive offensively throughout the year but with multiple years of eligibility, major strides can be taken.
