In 2013, Evans caught 69 passes for 1,394 yards and 12 touchdowns and earned first-team All-America recognition from the Associated Press.  He caught four passes for 72 yards in the Aggies 52-48 comeback win over Duke in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

“After talking things over with Coach Sumlin and my family I have decided to enter the NFL draft,” Evans said. “Thanks go to Texas A&M for giving me an opportunity to play college football. Thanks also to my coaches and teammates for helping me develop as a player and as a man. I made this decision based on what I thought was best for myself and my family.”
