Matt Evans, Sr., Grand Blanc 

Grand Blanc coach Kaleb Forr believes Evans, a cornerback/wide receiver, will make a splash in his senior year. 

“His ability to lockdown a receiver is uncanny and will be a playmaker on offense receiving the ball… ,” Forr said. “Being a dynamic player on both sides of the ball gives Matt the opportunity to make a lot of plays. He will be relied on and counted on to lead the Bobcats (to) win some games in high-level moments throughout the year.”

Evans, a 6-foot-3,180-pounder, has interest from a collection of Division I programs and a plethora of top-level Division II programs.
