Evers played in one game for Oklahoma this season, where he threw one pass in the Sooners 49-0 loss to Texas. Evers sat behind Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel this season, who joined the Sooners after transferring from UCF. Gabriel played in 11 games for Oklahoma during the 2022 season, finishing with 2,925 yards and 24 touchdowns.

Evers is a dual-threat quarterback and was a four-star prospect coming out of Flower Mound High School in Texas. Evers fills a gap in the quarterback room with the departure of former Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz who entered the transfer portal.

Evers will have four years of eligibility remaining.
