As an undergraduate, Evans served as Assistant to the Director of Athletic Facilities, helping with preparation and breakdown for a wide variety of events at Auburn’s venues.
He also has experience in leadership roles with camps at Auburn and Belmont.

Coach Mox on Evans:
“I am first and foremost extremely grateful that we were able to create this position! I am even more excited about the person who is filling it! Anthony is an amazing young man! He has a great basketball mind, and an even better work ethic to go with it. He is a doer, a results-based guy who is committed to the grind! He is very well versed in all things video, which will help us continue to scout, recruit, and develop our Lady Bears at an extremely high level. The icing on the cake is his character. A God-fearing, genuine, respectful human being with a grateful heart!”
