Overview

Evans played college football at Texas A&M, where he earned consensus first-team All-American honors after recording a school record of 1,394 receiving yards on 69 receptions, and was drafted by the Buccaneers in the first round with the seventh overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Evans has been selected to the Pro Bowl four times and was a Second-team All-Pro in 2016. Evans holds nearly every major Buccaneers franchise receiving record; career receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Evans is also the only player in NFL history to start his career with nine consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards. He won a Super Bowl championship in Super Bowl LV over the Kansas City Chiefs.
High school career
Evans attended Ball High School in Galveston, Texas, where he played basketball, football, and ran track for the Tors athletic teams. In basketball, he averaged 18.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 5.2 assists as a senior. He only played football during his senior year, and was thus not heavily recruited by college football programs. As a senior, he earned second-team District 24-4A honors after making 25 receptions for 648 yards and seven touchdowns.
In track & field, Evans competed in the jumping events. He got personal-best leaps of 14.11 meters in the triple jump and 6.28 meters in the long jump. He also posted a 4.54 time in the 40-yard dash at football camp and was a member of the 4 × 100m and 4 × 200m relay squads.
