Enormous misconceptions of 5 star TCU RB Zak Evans

FAIRY TALE
"he is a head case due to his confusing and disjointed recruiting saga as the 5 star # 1 High School RB in the nation in 2019 who was very highly recruited by every SEC team among others" (in fact he was the 2nd most highly recruited RB in recent State of Texas history next to Adrian Peterson)
TRUTH
he has been a model citizen at TCU and thanks the Coaches every single day for taking him at TCU. He loves it there and last semester he made a 3.75 GPA in accounting and he made the Deans List at TCU. Additionally he was one of just 2 TCU football players named Academic All BIG 12. He also has been a great leader on the team and is looked up to by younger players as a role model. He has never missed a single class, has been a model student and has gotten straight "A"s in all his courses and just one "B" at TCU in his first year. In summer school this year he was again straight "A"s.

FAIRY TALE
"he hasn't lived up to his hype and TCU is wasting his talent"
TRUTH
TCU broke him in slowly last season as a true freshman and this year he is emerging as a superstar after being named last week as the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week with a spectacular performance against Cal.

FAIRY TALE
"he is just a head case"
TRUTH
The kid has surprised everyone at TCU with how mature and intelligent he is. Coaches call him one of the most intelligent football players they have ever had at TCU, and they point at him for other players to emulate. He is a workaholic and a very mature smart responsible student who is highly popular at TCU for his personality as well as his football skills and he is very close to all his teammates and they love him. He calls his teammates "my brothers". Really fun to see that with a nice kid like him.

FAIRY TALE
"i know his story in High School and he would not give up his phone prior to playoff game and he got suspended by the Head Coach for refusing to give up his phone like all the other players on the team did - so he is a trouble maker"
TRUTH
His grandmother was very ill and in the hospital and he was very close to her. He wanted to keep tabs on her since she was so old and he was afraid she would die and he would not have the opportunity to speak with her one last time. The High School Head Coach was a jerk and said "NO EXCEPTIONS" and had many run-ins previously with parents of players for his Hitler-esque attitude and demands.

FAIRY TALE
"bigtime teams quit recruiting him because of his incident and his bad attitude"
TRUTH
some bigtime teams quit recruiting him when they found out he was suspended for not giving up his phone.......until they discovered all the facts late in the recruiting season when they then jumped back on the Zac Evans train and tried to get him again. He was committed to GEORGIA at one time, then decomiitted after the incident when GEORGIA said they may not be interested anymore. ALABAMA then wanted him and offered him but then they cooled on him for same reason. TCU has 2 High School teammates of his on the team and they were telling TCU Coaches the real story and TCU was stayed loyal, hot and supportive on Evans all the way through the process and him and his family were very very grateful for that.
Very late in the recruiting process all the bigtime school came very very hard at Evans after they discovered the truth, but Evans had already made up his mind to join his buddies at TCU and reward the TCU coaches for sticking with him all the way. A&M came really really hard at him just prior to him signing with TCU. So did FLORIDA and FLORIDA thought they had him as did GEORGIA who came hard at him again. BAMA made a full blown run at him a few days prior to him signing up with Frogs as did TENN and OHIO STATE but he didn't even meet with any of them. Just too late in the process and he wanted to be with his buddies and former teammates at TCU who supported him.

Doesn't make for good tabloid chatter....its much more popular with opposition teams to spread FAIRY TALES but the TRUTH is entirely different.

That’s fantastic for the froggies. Over 200 yds expected? Possible, but who expects a 200 yard performance from anybody?
