This past Wednesday, WKU linebacker JaQues Evans announced that he is entering the transfer portal.
Evans has been a huge piece to the Hilltopper defense over the past couple of seasons, he led the team in tackles in 2022 with 106 plus 14 tackles for loss and nine sacks.
Evans entered the transfer portal after the 2022 season but withdrew and stayed with the Tops heading into 2023.
In 2023 he was the preseason CUSA Defensive Player of the Year but only got to play six games before he suffered a season ending injury. He finished the year with 30 tackles, a sack, one TFL and a forced fumble returned for a touchdown.
It is unclear at the moment where Evans will be heading next.
