Indianapolis (Ind.) Ben Davis running back Chris Evans tells 247Sports that Indiana has offered.

 

The Hoosiers are first to extend a scholarship to the nation's No. 3 all-purpose back in the class-of-2016 according to 247Sports.

 

"Pretty big," Evans said. "It's starting to open my mind that coaches are seeing I can play on the next level. I'm really grateful."

 

It's been a great weekend for Evans, who on Friday, helped lead Ben Davis to a 40-36 regional championship victory over Warren Central with 163 yards rushing and two touchdowns along with 55 yards receiving and two more scores.

 

For the season thus far, Evans has rushed for 852 yards and 14 touchdowns, while adding another 659 yards receiving and 10 scores.

 

Evans has been to Bloomington several times including twice this fall with plans to return for the Purdue game over Thanksgiving weekend.

 

"It's close to home. I know a lot of people down there, players, relatives, ex teammates, ex opponents," Evans said. "Antonio Allen has been a real big part of my thinking about IU. I look up to him as a brother.

 

"I know they have a great offensive coordinator in Coach (Kevin) Johns and they utilize their weapons like Shane Wynn on offense and I like that."

 

Other schools showing interest in Evans includes Michigan State, Ohio State and Purdue. He visits the Spartans on Saturday.

Ben Davis '16 APB Chris Evans (@Kidnplay_abc123) named to 1st team @ArmyAllAmerican All-Combine Team http://247sports.com/Article/US-Army-All-American-Combine-247Sports-All-Combine-Team-34394161...

 

- Chris Evans, Indianapolis (Ind.) Ben Davis: Tested very well, running a 4.49 on a very slow track. Evans is also a good route runner that made several plays downfield. Michigan State and Indiana are the early favorites.

[Crimson and Cream 5,968]

Getting him would be huge. The fact he's even seriously considering us speaks volumes to what CKW is doing here.

Indianapolis Ben Davis RB Chris Evans ran 4.40 at Best of the Midwest Combine today, follows that up with a 4.37.

The nation’s No. 8 running back Martell Pettaway from Detroit (Mich.) King will make his way to Indianapolis, where he’ll run into the country’s No. 4 all-purpose back Chris Evans.

 

Michigan State could ultimately land both.

 

While the Spartans are the 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite for Pettaway, he also has offers from Illinois and Iowa. MSU could be next to offer Evans, who has been tearing up the camp circuit this winter. Indiana should be considered the team to beat at this point early in the process.

This would be CKW's first four star at IU, correct?

[Hurryin' Hoosiers 2,074]

CKW has already had some 4 star recruits.  Booth (WR), Latham (DE/DT), Kenney (who left), Fant (DB), Allen (DB)

I forgot about that loaded 2013 class. Thanks!

I know ESPN also gave Leon Thornton a fourth star, but he's a 3 star on the 247Composite.

He landed a 4* safety in this class as well.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Visiting tomorrow per 247.

[HoosierReb01 7,591]

Sounds like tomorrow is going to be a big recruiting day for #IUFB.

[CR3AMnCR1MS0N 1,867]

Glad he's from Indiana or this snow would probably be a turnoff

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Picked up a MSU offer earlier this week after a visit.

#MichiganState is the leader for #INPrep50 RB Chris Evans. Find out 2 teams that could leap the #Spartans http://wp.me/p2mWG2-9fw  #INPreps

 

There is still a chance for in-state school Indiana to land Evans, as he will continue to build a relationship with the Hoosiers. Evans has made several trips to Bloomington and will likely make a few more before deciding on a school. Another program Evans mentioned in the running would be Illinois. 

 

Pretty good numbers last season.
