Was he not on any of Vim’s top MT lists? Late bloomer? Saw he had 3 other NAIA offers which is a great deal more than many on those lists. Someone help me out. I haven’t seen him play but heard he is a wrecking ball.

Welcome to Griz Nation Mr. Evans & family!

Should have been because he was one of the studs at summer camp before his Junior year. Dad played at Western with the current coach of our little brothers....Thats all.

He's a PWO for a FCS recruit because he's going to need time to develop either as a DT (which he absolutely could given his build/playing-style) or FB (doesn't really fit the classic TE mold that Rosie prefers so I would assume its fullback or bust on offense). His best position in high school was at MLB but he's not going to play that in college unless his speed and athleticism drastically improve. Zac excels when engaged on defense (he thrives in contact situations) so I would immediately start to develop him on the defensive line. He's a tough kid that could be a player three years down the line.

However, this is a big get for Hauck because (as stated above) Jeff Choate and Scott Evans are close friends and Zach's littler brother Marcus is a stud RB/LB for Helena High who is a top recruit for 2022. My two cents on this one.

Thanks Vim. What is your opinion on his little brother as a RB?

We posted at the same time but I added a little extra to my original response post. I project Marcus more as an OLB than RB in college but he could definitely develop well at both. See what he does to an unassuming Kenneth Eiden in pass coverage on first play of the bottom highlight. Keep in mind there is about a 40 lb. weight disparity there.

Speaking of TE types, Vim are you still as high on the Reynolds kid from Red Lodge as you were at the start of the season? I saw RL in two games against Columbus, both of which RL lost, and he was just not a dominant player on either side of the ball. In discussions with his coach John Fitzgerald, I was anticipating much more.

I prefer the term will try and play for the GRIZ and not commit (the term doesn't mean much anymore).

The Evans brothers aren't even on same HS team. Why would younger brother follow older one to the same college?

That’s a logic I can’t seem to wrap my head around. Lol

How is it that two brothers aren't on the same HS team? Are the parents separated? Is one of the HS's private?

They aren’t on separate teams, they both play for Helena high.

Not sure what I was looking at! Obviously not the first post or video!

They are on the same team....BUT.... That doesn't always mean they will go to the same school. I Believe it was Caleb Schreibeis who didn't want to come to MSU because his older brother Joe went there. He didn't want to be in his brothers shadow, and wanted to form his own legacy... Luckily Cats were the only ones that showed any interest in him out of High School, so he came here. He ended up doing pretty well.

And they might decide to play together as well:

"We could play together in college," Marcus said. "But I'm just a junior and he has a long time before he decides. It's not something we have really talked about."

Based off years on in-state recruiting data/trends, it is much more likely he follows his brother to play for UM.

I also apologize for saying the words "data" and "trends" because the election cycle spit those words out at us a million times over the past year.
