Who is Amari Evans? Four-star shooting guard visited Xavier over the weekend

Less than two weeks after getting its first commitment for the Class of 2025 in Washington, D.C. point guard Nyk Lewis, the Xavier Musketeers are still active on the recruiting trail.

On Friday, Amari Evans posted on social media that he was inside Cintas Center for an official visit with Xavier. Evans moved up his official visit by two weeks as he was originally scheduled to be on campus Sept. 20.

Evans posted photos from his visit alongside Xavier head coach Sean Miller on Sunday morning.

Evans, a Pittsburgh native who plays for Overtime Elite in Atlanta, is ranked by 247Sports as a four-star prospect guard. According to 247Sports' Composite Rankings, Evans is the No. 16 shooting guard in the nation and the No. 10 recruit in Georgia for the Class of 2025.

Xavier has been recruiting Evans for over a year, offering the 6-foot-5, 200-pound guard in July 2023.

Evans has a lengthy offer sheet that includes nearly 20 Division I programs. In July, he included Xavier in his top 10, along with Big East rivals Georgetown and Villanova.

Evans has now taken three official visits after a trip to Tennessee in August and Ole Miss earlier this month.

According to On3 Sports' predictions, Xavier is third in the running for Evans at 15.4%, trailing Tennessee (23.8%) and Pittsburgh (27.2%). On3 lists Evans as the No. 14 player in Georgia for the Class of 2025.
