Local WR with size, fresh upside, and early buzz in Winona State’s offense
Durst is a 6-foot-2, 190-pound freshman receiver from Byron, Minnesota, giving Winona State a long, physical target with room to grow. Early 2026 coverage shows him on the roster as a new addition, while the opener spotlight went to James Durst’s 54-yard receiving day, so Evan still looks like a developing piece rather than a proven stat-sheet monster. What makes him interesting is the frame, local pedigree, and freshman upside: he could fit a team looking for a coachable, high-ceiling wideout who may bloom as the season unfolds.
