5-star Rashaan Evans visited by Auburn, Alabama coaching staffs simultaneously at family party
quote:
Saturday night marked the final evening of permitted contact between 2014 recruits and college coaches and both the Auburn and Alabama coaching staffs took advantage of every last minute they could spend with one of the top remaining uncommitted recruits in the country. Auburn High School outside linebacker Rashaan Evans was visited at his home by both staffs Saturday night during his grandfather's 80th birthday party, creating a scene that Evans' father Alan Evans said was almost surreal.
"It was Bama and Auburn in the same room. Really a once in a lifetime event," said the elder Evans.
The Evans family was originally scheduled to host Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn and Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart but as the two staffs continued to firm up their plans for the evening, the guest list grew. Alan Evans said Malzahn was accompanied by the entire defensive staff from Auburn while Smart was joined by fellow Alabama assistants Lance Thompson, Burton Burns and Bo Davis.
"Both staffs were very cordial to each other. They ended up hanging out together and both trying to talk to Rashaan whenever they could."
Evans, a 5-star prospects and the nation's No. 1 outside linebacker according to the 247Composite rankings, is set to announce his college decision on Wednesday at 10 a.m. live on ESPNU. The announcement will be held at Auburn High School and will be closed to fans and students, with only media, family and close friends invited to attend.
