Apparently, SMU is the new home for wayward SEC football souls.
This past week, it was reported that former LSU wide receiver Trey Quinn had moved on to SMU. Now, this weekend, Scout.com is reporting that former Arkansas running back Denzell Evans has also transferred into the SMU football program. Evans subsequently confirmed to the move to Rivals.com.
It was announced earlier this month that Evans had decided to transfer from the Razorbacks.
Evans will graduate from UA this month, making him eligible to play immediately in 2016. As an added bonus for his new program, Evans will actually have two years of eligibility left to use.
The past two seasons after redshirting as a true freshman in 2013, Evans had played in 15 games for the Razorbacks. Evans rushed for 84 yards on 13 carries in his Razorbacks career; 48 of those yards and six of the carries came in the fourth quarter of an Oct. 31 win over UT-Martin this past season.
Evans, a three-star 2013 signee, scored a pair of rushing touchdowns in the Hogs’ spring game last month.
