Notre Dame TE Mitchell Evans Finds Energy, Excitement Ahead Of Return [Video]

Exactly nine months since Mitchell Evans underwent surgery on his left knee to repair a torn ACL, the Notre Dame tight end started Thursday’s preseason camp practice without wearing a knee brace.

Evans was not yet taking on all his eventual responsibilities on day two of Notre Dame’s preseason camp, but he’s confident about his status ahead of the season opener at Texas A&M on Aug. 31.

“I feel good,” Evans told Inside ND Sports. “I’m strong. I feel confident. Just working back into football things.”
