Shaq Evans was a polished, productive UCLA playmaker
In the 2013 season, Shaq Evans was a legit difference-maker for UCLA, finishing with 47 catches, 709 receiving yards, and 9 touchdowns, and he had already posted 60 catches for 877 yards in 2012. He stood out as a consistent producer with reliable hands, downfield efficiency, and big-play ability, while UCLA’s own roster notes credited him with catching at least one pass in 28 straight games and making 32 career starts. If you want an experienced WR with proven production and steady presence, he fit the bill; he was more polished chain-mover than raw upside flyer.
