Titans draft Evans in third round, becomes earliest Mountaineer drafted since 2012
With the 93rd overall pick in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans selected former App State running back Darrynton Evans.
Evans is the highest drafted App State player since Brian Quick went No. 33 overall to the Rams in 2012.
The Oak Hill, Fla. native scored 24 total touchdowns in 2019 to rank No. 3 in FBS and was named the Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year. Evans was a two-time Sun Belt Championship game MVP and finished his App State career at No. 9 in program history with 2,884 rushing yards despite leaving for the draft as a junior.
