Dane Evans Named Nominee for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team

The University of Tulsa senior Dane Evans is one of 165 nominees for the 2016 Allstate Good Works Team®, it was announced today by the Allstate Insurance Company and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA).

The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® is one of the most coveted off-the-field honors in college football. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the award, which was established in 1992 to recognize a select group of college football players who have made a commitment to service and enriching the lives of others.

Evans has been involved in volunteering for a number of community events in the Tulsa area as well as his hometown of Sanger, Texas.

The senior quarterback, who earned his bachelor's degree in exercise and sports science this past May, has played in 33 career games and has 30 starts. He has completed 56-percent of his passes for 8,332 career yards and 52 TDs to rank fourth on both the school's all-time lists for passing yards and TD passes.

In 2015, Evans completed 62.9-percent of his passes for 4,332 yards and 25 TDs for the school's second-best passing season, becoming only the second quarterback in school history to surpass 3,000 passing yards in two separate seasons. He ranked first in the American Athletic Conference for passing yards per game (333.2) and total offense (332.5), and third for passing efficiency (151.6).

For 25 years, the players selected have carried on the award's mission by demonstrating that 'good works' extend beyond the football field. This year's nominees uphold impressive service resumes detailing inspiring stories of servitude and the exceptional ability to balance academics with athletics, while donating their limited free time and energy to helping others.
