â Amari Evans (@AmariEvans0) April 17, 2026 Evans committed to Tennessee out of Overtime Elite in Atlanta, Georgia. A consensus top 80 recruit nationally, he picked the Vols over Pittsburgh and Xavier. As a freshman last season, he totaled 4.1 points per game for the season. He did, however, see increased playing time last in the season with Nate Ament being out with an ankle injury. In the regular season finale against Vanderbilt, he totaled 24 points in Tennesseeâs 86-82 loss to their intrastate rivals. Evansâ departure was a bit of a sting, as he had flashed some potential late in the season. However, Barnes did a tremendous job of addressing the guard position in the transfer portal, , Tyler Lundblade (Belmont), and Dai Dai Ames (California), with more help potentially on the way. As such, there shouldnât be any drop off at the guard position. In any event, the Vols will get an up close and personal look at their former player next year, with Evans deciding to remain in the SEC to continue his college career.
