Football: Coatesville's Evans commits to Owls

Coatesville's Ahkema Evans, a senior cornerback, committed Thursday to play at Temple.

"He's the best pure cornerback I've coached at the high school level," Red Raiders coach Matt Ortega said. "He's very physical, has high energy all the time. He's got a ton of upside."

The 5-foot-10, 175-pound Evans, who doubles as a slot receiver, also had scholarship offers from Albany, Coastal Carolina, Duquesne, Rhode Island, and St. Francis (Pa.).

He was also drawing interest from Pittsburgh and West Virginia.
