Mike Evans lettered for the Aggies during the 2012 and 2013 seasons, where he proved to be one of the most dominant wide receivers to ever don the Maroon & White, despite playing only year of high school football. He compiled the sixth-most receiving yards by any player in program history and the most by anyone in just two seasons (2,499). He totaled the seventh-most receiving touchdowns (17) and receptions (151) in school annals. Evans was the main target for Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel during his freshman campaign, setting a rookie record of 1,105 yards and 12 touchdowns catches in 2012.
During his All-American campaign in 2013, he racked up a school record 1,394 receiving yards and was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award. He set a new program mark with 279 receiving yards against Alabama on Sept. 14, 2013, tying the second-longest pass play in program history on a 95-yard house call. Later that year, Evans broke the single-game receiving record again, totaling 287 yards against Auburn. He is the only player in school history to have multiple 200-yard receiving games.
Evans became the highest Texas A&M wide receiver taken in the NFL Draft when he was selected with the seventh overall pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014. He is a four-time Pro Bowl selection and helped bring a Lombardi Trophy to Tampa Bay in 2021. He is the only player in NFL history to post 1,000-yard seasons in each of his first eight seasons.
