The Florida State Seminoles are scheduling game visits with prospects in the 2028 class. One of them is in the state of Louisiana, and it's four-star linebacker Shamar Evans.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder has locked in 12 game visits for the fall. He will come to Tallahassee for Halloween on Oct. 31 when FSU takes on the Clemson Tigers,per Kolby Crawford of Noles247. The other schools he'll go see are the LSU Tigers, Texas Longhorns, Florida Gators, Texas A&M Aggies, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Michigan Wolverines, Auburn Tigers, Ohio State Buckeyes, SMU Mustangs, Tennessee Volunteers, and Alabama Crimson Tide.
Evans is the No. 145 prospect nationally and the No. 9 linebacker according to the 247Sports composite rankings. He's listed as the No. 1 recruit in the state of Louisiana.
The Seminoles made a scholarship offer to Evans back in December. He took his first visit to Tallahassee last month for Florida State's Seminole Showcase. After the visit, he talked about bonding with the coaching staff, with linebackers coach Ernie Sims being at the forefront.
That is something that hasn't wavered over the last month. Evans spoke about Sims and why he can see himself playing under his guidance.
"He's an amazing coach," Evans said. "Definitely one that I can see myself learning under. He's learned a lot and knows the game and the position well."
Evans played at Forest High School in Mississippi as a sophomore. He finished with 84 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss, three sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries (ran one back for a touchdown). Evans also got a few snaps at running back and gained 22 yards on four carries. He'll play his junior year at Ruston High School in Ruston, Louisiana.
