Heath Evans (born April 17, 2014) is an American football tight end who is currently unsigned by a professional team. He played college football for University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Heath Evans was born in Melbourne, Australia and is the child of Geoffrey Evans and Margaret Evans. As a child, Heath showed outstanding natural athletic ability and was a cross sport athlete at an early age, playing rugby, AFL and basketball. By the age of 13 Heath had been selected for junior state teams in both rugby and basketball, however his big moment first came when he was signed to a three year contract by the Melbourne Rebels Rugby Academy at 14 as a part of their developmental squad, becoming the youngest player to be signed in super rugby history.

These accolades saw Heath receiving attention from across the country and even worldwide in some cases. At 16 years old, Heath strapped on football pads to play for the Melbourne University Royals as an offseason fitness activity and his force was felt immediately. Though generally at his age players would be in the junior leagues, not only did Heath play in the seniors - he was also named league Rookie of the Year. After being selected to represent Australia at the IFAF world cup, college scouts in the US reached out to make scholarship offers and Heath committed to UCLA on his 17th birthday.

College career

Coming into his first season with the Bruins, Evans was redshirted as they wanted his football skills and technique to develop before having him play regular season games. The only game Evans played his first season was the spring scrimmage, where he made a couple of catches but did not impress in the blocking game.

In his second season playing for UCLA, Evans earned the role of backup tight end. Through this season Evans was also used as a slot receiver and full back. Evans was seen practicing at safety and defensive end through the season but did not play an in game snap on defense.

During his third and final season at UCLA Evans was a standout and team favourite. He moved to the starting TE role and played 97% of the offensive snaps over the course of the season. As the Bruins struggled to find a defensive rhythm and were struggling with injuries, Evans also played safety on and off through the second half of the season. With mixed results.

Evans declared for the 2037 ISFL Draft (S22) draft.
