Evans shares a record with David Robinson as being the only 2 players in CAA history to win 3 consecutive Colonial Athletic Association Men's Basketball Player of the Year. In addition, Evans is one of just four players in NCAA history to record more than 200 steals, assists and blocked shots for a career, joining Danny Manning, Lionel Simmons and Shane Battier.

Soon after, he joined the professional basketball team Mons-Hainaut of the Basketball League Belgium. He was named the Belgian League's MVP in 2006. With the 2008/09 Season he joined TBB Trier in Germany's First Division. He left the team in April 2011 for family reasons.
