Justin Evans named second-team preseason All-America by The Athletic
Nebraska offensive lineman Justin Evans earned another preseason accolade. The senior was named a second-team preseason All-America selection.
Nebraska's Justin Evans has been named a second-team preseason All-America selection by The Athletic. This is the second honor awarded to the senior offensive lineman, who was also on the Rimington Trophy Watch List earlier this month. Standing at 6-2 and weighing 315 pounds, Evans is one of five Big Ten offensive linemen and one of two Big Ten centers to receive this recognition.
Oregon's Iapani Laloulu was chosen as the first-team, starting 30 games including all of last season's. Evans will be returning for his final season at Nebraska, aiming to maintain his consecutive games played streak. Originating from East Orange, N.J., Evans has logged 38 straight appearances, including 31 starts. He has become a key player in the Huskers' offensive line and is part of a seasoned unit that formed during the offseason.
Evans is one of two returning starters for the team. Last season, he started every game at center, contributing significantly to the team's rushing attack alongside Emmett Johnson, who was named first-team All-America. Johnson averaged over 121 yards per game on the ground, with Nebraska rushing for over 146 yards per game on average.
