The Ohio State Buckeyes has not given up on its hope to enlist five-star running back Zach Evans for the next season. In fact, it looks like the Buckeyes are intensifying its efforts to recruit Evans. This was after receivers coach Brian Hartline was seen following Evans on Twitter, reports Lettermen Row.
Earlier this month, the University of Georgia released Evans’ National Letter of Intent and Financial Aid Agreement. This gave Evans the freedom to talk to other teams that could potentially recruit him.
