Will Evans Profile

With the Golf season for the Thundering Herd in full swing, one of the golfers, Will Evans, is excited to get going; however, there is more to Will Evans than just Will Evans the sophomore, letter-winning golfer.

So many times the media only shows the athlete. They media does not necessarily show the person. Evans had some interesting comments about his life away from the game, his opinions about his own game, and his expectations for his career.

Growing up in today's era for kids, there are many different sports. With the seasons spread out the way they are, it is common for kids to play multiple sports at a very young age. This could not have been truer for Evans.

"I played a lot of different sports growing up," Evans said. Soccer, football, and basketball were a few that Evans named. "But, I didn't even think about golfing around middle school. My dad was a professional up at a golf club. And I kind of wanted to follow in his footsteps".

Like many athletes his goals started from there. Evans claims that he works his goals for his career one step at a time.

"My goal when I was in high school was to play Division 1 NCAA golf. Now that I am here, I am working on getting better and my next goal would be to try and go professional," Evans said.

But many people realize at some point that they may or may not go play sports at the professional level. If the later is the case for Evans he does have one place that he would love to play.

"Augusta National," Evans said as his eyes lit up. "It is one of the hardest courses in the world and that would be a dream golf course for me to play.

Evans did say that he did not get into golf until mid-high school. So what does the letter-winner do in his free time? It may surprise you.

"I don't do a whole other than play golf and hangout with the team. I work out a little bit. Just a regular college thing to do," Evans explained.

So with his dad being a professional at a golf club, and Evans basically using all of his time to golf, even his free time, there does not seem to be a whole lot else to the life of Will Evans. But another person that knows Evans pretty well would be his coach. Marshall's Golf Coach Matt Grobe had some wonderful things to say about his returning letter winner.

"He spent the whole summer working his tail off and has come back to campus playing some great golf," Grobe said. "One of my favorite things about Will is that he is solid in everything that he does. He is a good student, a good golfer, and a great kid".

Things are looking bright for Evans and the Thundering Herd Golf Team this season. According to Herd Zone Evans shot 1 under 70 during the 45th Annual Joe Feaganes Invitational.
