Defensive end Justin Evans was one of the more impressive looking prospects attending the Hogs’ game against Eastern Michigan last weekend.

Evans, 6-4, 225, 4.64 of Haynesville, (La.) is drawing interest from Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana Tech and Baylor.

“They have a nice stadium and like the turf on the field,” said Evans, who reports an offer from Northwestern (La.) “I like the way the guys warmed up, looks like they’re in shape.”

Evans said assistant coaches Bobby Allen and Kirk Botkin welcomed him on his visit.

“They said they want me to put on a little bit more weight, Evans said.

Despite a less than capacity crowd and overmatched opponent, Evans said the visit was better than some others.

“Arkansas is the best one so far,” said Evans, who said he’s visited Louisiana Tech and Georgia. “I feel like I could go there and it fits me. I think I could fit in with the team.”
