LSU cornerback Darren Evans signs contract as undrafted free agent

LSU cornerback Darren Evans has signed with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent, according to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero. He spent the past two seasons in Baton Rouge after transferring in from Nichols State, where he was an all-conference selection in 2018.

Evans ends his career at LSU with 33 tackles and seven passes defended across appearances in 22 games. He played his biggest role in 2021, starting five games and recording 27 tackles along with four passes defended. He is set to join a Giants team that finished 4-13 this past season.

During his final season at Nichols State in 2019, Evans tied for fifth in the FCS in with 15 pass breakups. He also posted a career-high seven tackles in a playoff win over North Dakota. He was underrecruited coming out of Glen Oaks High School in Baton Rouge. Despite being in the Tigers’ backyard, he did not receiver an offer from them initially, resulting in him heading to Nichols State.

LSU defensive tackle Glen Logan signs as undrafted free agent

Evans wasn’t the only Tiger who signed as an undrafted free agent following the 2022 NFL Draft.

LSU defensive tackle Glen Logan has signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent, according to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero. Logan is one of the only five-year letterwinners Tigers history after spending the past six season in Baton Rouge.

Logan missed six games this past season due to a foot injury, but still managed to record 10 tackles and a sack. By far his best year with the team came in 2018, when he finished with a career high 45 tackles to go along with four sacks. He is best known as a run-stopper, and will hope to bring that energy to a Browns team that finished last year with an 8-9 record.
