Elite Speedster CB Whose UT Career Was Cut Short by Injuries
Sheroid Evans, a 4-star Texas commit ranked No. 12 recruit in Texas and No. 3 safety nationally (247Sports class of 2011, 95 rating), dazzled with world-class speed—his 20.82 200m ranked 17th globally in 2010 and won 5A state titles—but persistent injuries like multiple ACL tears and hamstring issues limited him to just 5 tackles in 12 games as a 2011 freshman, with no play from 2013 on. His explosive athleticism and versatility (DB/receiver/track star) make him a tantalizing 'what if' talent, though injury history screams high-risk for any team eyeing a lockdown corner with sprinter intensity.
