SKULL SESSION: MORROW EVANS SIGNS WITH THE BUCKEYES​

MORROW EVANS, EVERYONE. While Ohio State signed 20 scholarship athletes in 2024, 247Sports showed the program had 21 commitments in the class. The Buckeyes’ extra commitment was walk-on Morrow Evans, the No. 2-ranked long snapper in America and future graduate of Episcopal High School in Bellaire, Texas.

A former teammate of current Ohio State offensive lineman Donovan Jackson, Evans’ quick hands and motion, snap speed and punt coverage made him a desirable prospect for special teams coordinator Parker Fleming and the Buckeyes.

Evans committed to Ohio State on Aug. 12.

This week, Colin Gay of The Columbus Dispatch spoke with Evans and his parents about how he became a Buckeye.

Evans worked with Episcopal’s recruiting coordinator to see which schools needed a long snapper. The No. 2 long snapper in the 2024 class according to Rubio Long Snapping, he received a scholarship offer from Mississippi.
And while Ohio State was on Evans’ list, he didn't connect with the Buckeyes until the spring before his junior season.
Evans was just wrapping up a visit at Indiana when Ohio State program assistant Gunner Daniel reached out to invite him to a practice. Evans and his father rearranged their travel plans and headed to Columbus the next day, meeting Daniel and special teams coordinator Parker Fleming for the first time.
“That’s when I fell in love,” Evans said.
Evans returned for a specialists camp at Ohio State the summer before his senior year, working one-on-one with Fleming and Daniel, who Morrow Evans Sr. said challenged his son.
“I’m confident that the coaches were trying to push him and see when he would bend and break," Morrow Evans Sr. said. "The coaches were super supportive and very complimentary. You are there for that many hours, you know, it’s not just football. It’s building relationships. Morrow really enjoyed all of the coaches and getting to know them. That kind of started the familiarity of OK, this isn’t just a ‘Hi, good to see you. Bye.’ It was much more in-depth.”
Morrow Evans Jr. valued not just the relationships that were forming, but also what Ohio State could do to help him reach his ultimate goal.
“My dream is to go to the NFL,” he said. “And it was by far the best opportunity for me with just experience and being able to snap in front of big crowds.”

While walk-ons do not complete National Letters of Intent, Evans is still a member of Ohio State’s 2024 class – just like the Buckeyes’ scholarship additions. That said, Evans deserves some praise!

At Ohio State, Evans will accompany John Ferlmann, Max Lomonico and Collin Johnson as the Buckeyes’ long snappers. Ferlmann, a transfer from Arizona State ahead of the 2023 season, will be the lone scholarship player of the bunch. He is a redshirt sophomore, while Lomonico and Johnson are juniors. Evans could take the reins for the Buckeyes' special teams snapper as soon as 2026.
