Former Tennessee RB wins starting job at Power 5 program
Former Tennessee running back Tiyon Evans lasted less than a season in Knoxville before transferring to Louisville.
It seems to have worked out for him. Louisville head coach Scott Satterfield released the Cardinals’ depth chart Monday, revealing Evans as the feature back for their battle against Syracuse on Saturday.

The Vols must have thought they found a star in Evans after the Missouri game last season. It was a breakthrough performance from the former JUCO prospect, spearheading his season total of 525 rushing yards with 6 touchdowns across just seven games.
Evans rushed for 156 yards and 3 touchdowns in Tennessee’s 62-24 win over the Tigers.
