Chase Evans brings veteran-size, All-MVFC-caliber stability to SIU’s interior line
A 6-foot-4, 300-pound senior guard/center for Southern Illinois, Chase Evans stands out as a durable, high-IQ interior lineman who started all 12 games in 2024, earned honorable mention All-MVFC and Scholar-Athlete first team honors, and did it while allowing zero sacks and grading as SIU’s top blocker in efficiency. He’s a strong fit for a team that values dependable pass protection, assignment soundness, and leadership; the extra value here is his captain-level presence and proven versatility after making 50 career starts.
