Flower Mound 2026 OL Drew Evers can’t drive a car yet and hasn’t even taken a snap at the varsity level, but he’s already secured offers from Power 5 behemoths, including Texas A&M, Alabama, Oklahoma and more.

“I’ve always been bigger than everybody else and stronger than everybody else even since little league,” said Evers, a rising sophomore. “And I’ve had people tell me that even since first, second grade that I could be special one day.”

It dawned on Evers just how special he could be when he was in eighth grade, and began the steps towards being a high-level prospect last year, dominating from the jump on the school’s freshman team. Despite Evers’ talent, Flower Mound’s coaching staff saw value in keeping Evers among his peers as they look to retool with a younger squad and grow chemistry.

For Evers, his freshman year meant truly dedicating himself to the craft of being an elite offensive tackle, eating roughly 5000 calories a day, getting good sleep and waking up early to get on the grind. 

“It was kind of easy for me because all I really had to focus on was football, working out and school,” Evers said. “And that was really it. I didn’t really have to worry about anything else.”

Evers’ commitment to his craft paid dividends. During his freshman year he grew two inches to stand 6-foot-4 and put on nearly 50 pounds, not to mention getting straight A’s and adding over 75 pounds to his bench max.

With the jump to varsity looming, Evers has kicked up his workout intensity a notch in the summertime, honing on improving his mobility, lowering his stance, building endurance and putting together solid reps in different sets. He heads to the school at 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday for group workouts, takes Fridays off, and works with a speed training coach on the weekends.

"Evers was one of the most impressive 2026 prospects I saw this offseason and I'm very excited to see what he brings to the table for Flower Mound this season," said Dave Campbell's Director of Recruiting Greg Powers. "He quickly passes the eyeball test and moves extremely well. He's versatile. Evers could play anywhere on the offensive front, he's intelligent, and clearly understands the work that needs to be put in to sustain success at the high school level and beyond."

A 15-year-old with this level of maturity and diligence is uncommon, but Evers knows it’s what he must do to realize his massive potential. It doesn’t hurt to have someone to use as a point of reference, either.

The last name Evers may ring a bell for some fans, and that’s because Drew’s older brother, Nick, went through Flower Mound as a similar highly-touted recruit. A four-star quarterback prospect, Nick graduated in 2021 and spent his first year at Oklahoma before transferring to Wisconsin this offseason.

“That’s part of why I’m so successful right now is because me and my dad and my mom and my family have already been through the process with Nick once,” he said. “So now we’ve got to replicate it again, since Nick was obviously very successful in his recruiting. It’s good to have someone there to tell me, ‘Yo, this is the stuff you need to get done, this is what works, there’s a formula to this stuff basically.’”

Since the start of June, things have really taken off for Evers, as he’s received offers from Michigan, Penn State, Baylor, California, Alabama, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Florida State, and Oklahoma — a school that offers him a unique connection and familiarity. 

“I love all the schools that I have offers from,” he said. “’ll say the school I’ve been in contact with the most is OU because my brother went there. I’ve been around Coach [Brent] Venables and coach [Bill] Bedenbaugh for a little bit for over a year now, and you know, I’ve grown to like their program.”

Evers, though, clearly being media trained, was quick to keep his offers open.

“They all stand out to me. I love them all,” said Evers, who did mention former Sooner and current NFL All-Pro Trent Williams as his favorite player. “I’m always keeping my eyes open. I wouldn’t narrow it down just yet.”

Graduation is a long time away, though. Evers knows that and isn’t in a rush to commit anywhere. For now, he’ll continue to build his stock, work on his body and form relationships with college coaches as he starts whittling down his list of suitors. 

Above all, he’ll look to enjoy high school, something that can be lost in the fanfare that will shortly be accompanying Evers as he assumes the role of one of the most gifted players in DFW.

As the weeks towards kickoff dwindle, Evers exudes a confidence in his game that screams next-level talent. He’s aware of the greater task at hand, to help Flower Mound find success on Friday nights, something they’ve struggled with the past few seasons.

“We don’t have a lot of seniors this year so I know we’re gonna have to be really disciplined,” Evers said. “I want to be a leader on this team. I’m just trying to win a gold football again. That’s my goal, to make everyone better.”
