  Draft Scout by Conference









  Darrynton Evans was recruited to Appalachian State as a slot receiver. He's carved out a pretty solid niche at tailback. Evans ran for 154 yards and three second-half touchdowns and No. 23 Appalachian State avoided another home upset with a big second half to beat Texas State 35-13 on a rain-soaked Saturday. The victory, combined with Arkansas State's 38-33 win over Georgia Southern, guarantees the Mountaineers (10-1, 6-1 Sun Belt) a spot in the Sun Belt Conference championship game on Dec. 7 for the second straight season. Evans has eclipsed 1,150 yards rushing in each of the past two seasons and needs 14 yards to break into the top 10 in school history in rushing.

Coach Eli Drinkwitz is glad the previous coaching staff made that move. "He's an elite tailback, obviously," Drinkwitz said. "To me, he's one of the most dynamic players in college football because of his speed and return ability, and we're very fortunate to have him. I've been blessed to be around some really good running backs. Five of them have been drafted, and he's right there with all of them, for sure." Evans said he isn't surprised by his success because he played running back in high school. "At times I had other people who could play running back, so I would move to slot," said Evans, who was moved to tailback in 2016 after the Mountaineers sustained some injuries at that position. Quarterback Zac Thomas threw for 174 yards and two touchdowns to help the Mountaineers improve to 30-6 at home since becoming an FBS team in 2014. - Appalachian State/AP College Football
