C.J. Evans brings veteran juice to Samford’s backfield
In the 2025 season, C.J. Evans was a compact, experienced Samford running back listed at 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds, and he entered the year with a strong college résumé that included 1,618 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns across four seasons, plus 819 receiving yards and five receiving scores. He’s the kind of back who adds value beyond the box score: experienced, versatile, and tough enough to handle work in multiple phases, though his 2025 production at Samford was modest by comparison to his earlier career output.
