Mike Evans (wide receiver)

Michael Lynn Evans Jr. (born August 21, 1993) is an American professional football wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Texas A&M Aggies, earning consensus All-American honors after recording a school record of 1,394 receiving yards on 69 receptions in 2013. Evans was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round with the seventh overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft.

Evans has been selected to the Pro Bowl six times and was a second-team All-Pro in 2016 and 2023. He holds nearly every major Buccaneers franchise receiving record, including career receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Evans was also a member of the team that won Super Bowl LV. He has a record 11 1,000-yard receiving seasons to start a career, and his 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons are tied with Jerry Rice for most by a receiver in NFL history.

Evans attended Ball High School in Galveston, Texas, where he played basketball, football, and ran track for the Tors athletic teams. In basketball, Evans averaged 18.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 5.2 assists as a senior. He only played football during his senior year, and was thus not heavily recruited by college football programs. As a senior, Evans earned second-team District 24-4A honors after making 25 receptions for 648 yards and seven touchdowns.

In track & field, Evans competed in the jumping events. He achieved personal-best leaps of 14.11 m in the triple jump and 6.28 m in the long jump. Evans also posted a 4.54 time in the 40-yard dash at football camp and was a member of the 4 × 100m and 4 × 200m relay squads.

Evans was recruited by Texas A&M as a wide receiver and eventually signed to play for the Aggies.

While attending Texas A&M University, Evans played for the Texas A&M Aggies football team from 2011 to 2013. After being redshirted as a freshman in 2011, he had 82 receptions for 1,105 yards and five touchdowns in 2012. On the year, Evans recorded three games with at least 100 receiving yards. He received freshman All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors from the league's coaches.

In the 2013 game against #1 Alabama, Evans caught seven passes for a school-record 279 yards during the 49–42 loss. During the game against #24 Auburn, he broke his own record after he compiled 11 receptions for 287 yards and four touchdowns.

As a sophomore in 2013, Evans was a first-team All-SEC selection. On December 17, 2013, it was announced that he was selected to the 2013 Associated Press All-America Team, First-team. Evans finished the 2013 season with 69 receptions for 1,394 yards and 12 touchdowns.
