Des Evans on Why UNC's Defensive Approach is Better, His Growth, and More

Posted Aug 1, 2024
Defensive lineman Desmond Evans isn’t as shy as he was when the Sanford, NC, native arrived at North Carolina as a freshman more than four years ago. He didn’t say much then, but he does now. At 6-foot-6 and 270 pounds, Evans is no longer a stealth giant off the field, and he hopes to have a loud presence on it in this, his final season as a Tar Heel. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
