The top-ranked player in the 2020 recruiting class has narrowed his recruitment to five schools.

On Tuesday evening, five-star running back Zachary Evans took to Twitter to release his updated top five, featuring some of the top college football programs in the country.

The schools that made the cut for the Galena Park (Texas) North Shore product are as follows (in alphabetical order): Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma.

“Would like to say thank you to all the colleges and coaches for recruiting me during the past couple years," he wrote in the tweet. "It has truly been a blessing and an amazing experience but at this time I have decided to focus on these FIVE schools."

Evans has visited four of the five schools in his final group, with Ohio State being the lone exception. He’s been on campus at Georgia and LSU as recently as January and he took visits to Alabama and Oklahoma last summer.

According to the 247Sports Composite, Evans is ranked as the nation’s No. 1 overall player and No. 1 running back in the 2020 class. He also ranks No. 34 overall and No. 6 at his position in the all-time Composite rankings, which date back to 2000.

One of the top athletes in the country, the 5-foot-11, 200-pound Evans posted a 4.51 40-yard dash, 3.84 20-yard shuttle, 37.2-inch vertical and a 40-foot Power Ball throw at the Opening Regional in Houston earlier this spring, giving him a lofty SPARQ rating of 135.84. That SPARQ rating was the highest of any player on hand at the Houston Regional and it’s the fourth-highest mark from any Opening Regional this spring. He also has the top shuttle time of any prospect in the class, a testament to his lateral agility.

During his junior season at North Shore, Evans racked up nearly 2,000 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns while averaging more than 10 yards per carry, guiding the Mustangs to a perfect 16-0 record and a Class 6A Division I state championship. He had 110 yards from scrimmage on 23 touches in the state title game against a loaded Duncanville defense to help the Mustangs pull of a miraculous last-second win. As a sophomore, he had 184 carries for 1,483 yards and 27 touchdowns and caught 12 passes for 270 yards.

247Sports Midlands Region Recruiting Analyst Gabe Brooks compares Evans to Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon III, who during his final season at Wisconsin won the Doak Walker Award and finished second in the Heisman Trophy race. The full scouting report for Evans can be seen below:

“Dynamically athletic running back with prototype size and frame potential relative to the position. Owns college-ready build with frame space to add more bulk. Flashes elite athleticism verified in combine testing environment. Makes it look easy, sometimes to the point that it's deceptive. Shows great top-end speed and outstanding close-quarters lateral mobility confirmed by a 3.91 shuttle. Flashes devastating start-stop-start ability in close quarters, coupled with impressive hesitation stutter. Effortlessly strings moves together in the open field to elude multiple defenders. Chameleon in ability to alter running styles, going from elusive darter to hole-punching, straight-line galloper. Home run hitter with high-volume capability. Patient and presses the line of scrimmage to set up blocks. Size and strength potential could provide high ceiling in blitz pickup. At times dances in the backfield rather than accelerating through the hole. Sometimes an upright runner who presents a bigger target. Does not always finish runs with expected strength. Will try to bounce runs too often. Could get on the field immediately at high-major level and become a Power 5 star, in addition to first-round NFL Draft ceiling.”
