In 1950, the PCHS Eagles, led on the field by Evans, scored 329 points and gave up only 26 in an undefeated and untied season. A 40-7 victory over the Lucedale High Panthers gave the Eagles the Dairy Bowl Trophy. In 1951, Evans graduated from PCHS and enrolled at Perkinston Junior Collee, the same year that “War Daddy” White became assistant football coach at PJC. Evans was awarded the PJC C. S. Wentzell Football Trophy for sportsmanship (1951) and the Mississippi Association of Junior Colleges All-State Team (1952). When “War Daddy” White became head coach in 1952, Evans was named Bulldog team co-captain along with Charles Branch. In 1953-1954, Evans played fullback for the Mississippi State University Bulldogs. He received an Honorable Mention All-Southeastern Conference (1953), was selected to play in the Senior Bowl (1954) and was awarded the Jacobs Blocking Trophy for best blocker in the SEC (1954). Evans spent two years in the Army playing football for inter-service teams in Germany and at Fort Benning, Georgia. On September 21, 2013, he was named to the MSU Sports Hall of Fame.
