Former 5-Star Georgia Commit Zach Evans Won't Sign on NSD and Could Take More Visits in March
For fans out there who assumed the drama surrounding 5-star running back Zach Evans and his recruitment would come to a close this week, guess again. That won't be the case.
According to a report, due to NCAA rules, Evans won't be allowed to ink with a new program on Wednesday's National Signing Day because he was previously released from his National Letter of Intent with Georgia. The story doesn't end there.

Per 247Sports' insider Steve Wiltfong, Evans is also planning to take additional trips in March once the dead period comes to a close to help finalize his decision.
The 5-11, 200-pounder has taken four official visits thus far, meaning he has one left he can take. Evans could take unofficial visits too if he thinks they're needed.
Per Wiltfong, the Florida Gators are a new program trying to get him to commit. A potential official to the UF campus is in the works. Other serious players for Evans would be Tennessee, Ole Miss and Texas A&M.
It sure looks like the Zach Evans recruiting saga won't end this week as the rest of the country ends the process on signing day. @SIAllAmerican looks at the star RB's last six months:https://t.co/a39pEtkxmR

While it seemed all but a lock about five weeks ago the No. 2 RB in the land would end up playing for Georgia, that won't be happening. No one knows where the speedster will be playing his college ball.
If anything, it feels like his recruitment is only getting started once again.
