Virginia Tech quarterback Jerod Evans has decided to forfeit his final year of collegiate eligibility to chase his NFL aspirations. Evans is planning to declare for the 2017 NFL Draft.

Evans, a four-star junior college transfer from Dallas, TX, spent one year in Blacksburg.

During his only season at Virginia Tech, Evans led the Hokies to the ACC Championship game after throwing for 3,546 yards and 29 touchdowns. He added 846 yards and 12 touchdowns with his legs.

Evans set school records for most passes completed in a season (268), passing yards in a season (3,546), touchdown passes thrown in a game (5), touchdown passes thrown in a season (29), yards-per-game average (253.3) most plays in a season (626), total yards in a season (4,392), yards-per-game (313.7) and career completion percentage rating (.635).

Despite the accolades, Evans was not listed as an All-ACC performer.
