JaQues Evans brings veteran size, production, and downhill pop to Colorado State’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season, JaQues Evans was a senior outside linebacker for Colorado State at 6'2" and 270 pounds, and he finished with 21 tackles plus a forced fumble, giving the Rams a big, experienced body with proven production.[3][7][10] His best college stretch came at Western Kentucky, where in the 2022 season he posted 106 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, and 8.5 sacks, which screams impact playmaker rather than just a clean-up tackler.[13] The fit question? He looks like a high-motor, physical edge presence who can set a tone immediately, especially if your defense wants a linebacker who hits like a truck and has real résumé weight.[3][13]
