Former TCU running back Zach Evans commits to Ole Miss
The highest rated running back from the state of Texas in the 2020 recruiting class has found a new home. Former TCU running back Zach Evans announced his commitment to Ole Miss on Thursday. He entered the transfer portal on Nov. 29 and is a significant pickup for Lane Kiffin’s offense.
For I know the plans I have for you, Declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Former Texas QB Casey Thompson’s top schools
It appears former Texas quarterback Casey Thompson has narrowed down a list of top schools. Nebraska has emerged as the favorite over the last few weeks, but Oklahoma, Auburn, Indiana and Missouri are in the running as well. When Caleb Williams entered the transfer portal, it originally seemed as if Norman would be the go-to for Thompson, but Dillon Gabriel committed to the Sooners shortly after.
Transfer QB Casey Thompson, after seeing Nebraska today, has a top group of schools, according to his dad Charles, the former Oklahoma QB, of Nebraska, Oklahoma, Auburn, Indiana and Missouri.
