"I took my official visit to Stanford when they played Oregon and I took an unofficial visit there in August," Evans said. "The location of Stanford is perfect.
"The weather is always nice and it is close enough to home where my parents will get to see a lot of my games," Evans said. "Stanford is in the Pac 10 and we will be playing in Arizona once a year.
"It really was between Stanford and Northwestern," Evans said. "Northwestern is a great university and Coach Pat Fitzgerald is a great guy, but it really came down to the ease my parents could come to the games.
"Both schools are really great schools academically."
