Evans joins the Rutgers coaching staff after just one season as a Drake assistant, where he helped develop defensive linemen Jacob Auen, Nolan Korzeniowski, and Gene Blalock. Evans will now work under Rutgers' new defensive line coach, Dennis Dottin-Carter.

During his playing career at Iowa, Evans recorded 135 total tackles, 35 tackles for loss, and 28 sacks. He notably terrorized Rutgers in 2022, recording four sacks in Iowa's 27-10 win over the Knights. Evans joins rush ends coach Joe Woodley and safeties coach Adam Cox as former Drake coaches now on Rutgers' defensive coaching staff.
