Coach Evans on the 2026 recruiting class: “I couldn’t be more ecstatic about this incoming class, including our mid-year transfer in Avery who is\u00a0with us now. Our coaching staff worked quickly and diligently in identifying our immediate and long-term needs, and these players fit perfectly into the culture we’re creating and our vision for the program. These players have achieved tremendous success at the high school and club level, or at the junior college level, and their collective qualities and experience will bring immediate success to the University of Nevada. While coaching transitions can be challenging, bringing in high-quality players and people like we have made the transition much smoother. I can confidently say that every member of this class represents the player qualities our coaching staff covets.
