RE: Nate Evans
I repeat this from the other thread I posted in yesterday because it's very important to helping to prevent another loss like Nate's, and we must take preventative steps to honor Nate's legacy.

"The reality and gray areas of Nate's tragic death will become more difficult as more information becomes known in the trial of the suspect. Easy research of public social media shows the individual was known by some members of the team (this was not coincidental social media contact, but HS friendships.) For me, that knowledge made me very angry, since I could not compartmentalize this as a random act of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. My anger was, also, not in judgment, but in the reality of the potential consequences these kids deal with in today's socio-economic environment (unlike my time in the late 70's, it is a gun culture environment.) It's a tragedy even for kids, such as the suspect, who may grow up in a circle of friends, but may not get the same opportunities as their friends and get caught up in a negative path.

Coach Marion had tweeted several days ago, that a tragedy like this just highlights the responsibilities they have as mentors in these kids' lives. The staff now has an even more tangible need to educate, guide and, hopefully, minimize the risks these kids face. All W&M students, not just athletes. Players, also, will have a lot to work through, and the heightened awareness to help each other and lead new kids coming into the program."

RE: Nate Evans
Like everyone in the Tribe community, am still mourning the death of a wonderful young man in Nate Evans. Even more disturbing are police documents, quoted by local media, stating that Nate was “involved in a drug transaction” at the time. The questions we need to ask of our current Athletic Adminstration are: (1) Had Nate ever been in trouble for drug posession and/or tested positive for drugs as a Tribe student-athlete? (2) If the answer is “yes”, was Nate disciplined, counseled and rehabilitated? My concern is that this tragic death might have been prevented if Any previous situation involving Nate was handled properly by W&M’s athletic administration. This message board does not deal in rumours and speculation, but these are serious questions we need to ask of W&M’s athletic director and President. An independent investigation of the department’s drug policy and how they may have dealt with previous incidents involving Nate is in order.

RE: Nate Evans
How about we just let him rest in peace and let his family mourn? Pete asks compelling questions, but this thread shouldn't be the place to discuss. Nate's mom probably just got a gut punch when the news came out.

Article in the Daily Press yesterday implies that this was a drug deal gone bad; article was unclear as to whether Nare was attempting to purchase drugs, or to sell drugs. All very sad, and very disappointing. As a Freshman RB he appeared to have a great future - wonder what happened to change everything for him?

Another tragic death.


Nicholas Kavouklis, a senior at Elon University and a former long snapper for the Elon Phoenix football team, died Thursday just one day before he was set to graduate, according to a report by Jack Haley of Elon News Network.
According to a message sent by Vice President of Student Life Joe Dooley, the University was informed by the Alamance County Sherriff's Department that Kavouklis was found dead in a rural part of Southern Alamance County just after 2 PM on Thursday. Circumstances of Kavouklis' death were not disclosed. An exercise science major, Kavouklis had been set to receive his diploma and graduate during Commencement on Friday.

RE: Nate Evans
Hi Everyone,
I'm Nate's mom, Brandi Evans. It's taken me over a year to get on this message board. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you that have shown your love and support for Nate. Nate made a huge impact at W&M in such a short time there. On the field, I think it was obvious he was a passionate, fearless competitor, willing to go up against people 2x+ his size to protect his QB. In the locker room and on the sideline he was a cheerleader, hyping up his team, cheering them on and encouraging each of them. He had to work extra hard, being an undersized player (something he hated being called), but he did it anyway. He did whatever it took to get on the field and when he got his chance, he gave it all he had, ever single play. Off the field, he impacted every person he came in contact with, through compassion, encouragement, love, light and the brightest smile I've ever seen. He had the purest soul and he gave the most selfless love. He judged no one. But he struggled with hurts that I won't get into on this site, but things that some young men may have bee able to take in stride, but Nate, could not. He was a deep thinker and a deep feeler. And while that may have made him hit lows during bouts of depression, that deepness, enabled him to be passionate about social and racial justice & equality and more than anything, to spread love & light to an entire community.

I'm grateful to those that have reached out to me, for those that don't know me, but you gave to his GoFundMe, I thank you for that as well. We are just over a year since the most precious angel was stolen from our lives and it hasn't become any easier to handle the emptiness we feel without his presence. My daughter has begun the process of creating a foundation in Nate's honor. It will be called the Nate Evans Love & Light Foundation. There are still many details to work through, but we hope to support causes Nate was passionate about as well as bring awareness to mental health issues, especially in student-athletes.

The Quarterback Club recently awarded Tyler Crist with the first annual Nate Evans Playmaker award. This award was given the to the player who best exemplifies Nate's extraordinary ability to create plays through athleticism and effort. I couldn't be more proud of this. He would be shy and humble about it. Just like he was when he was all over Sports Center for his play against Maine. When I left the game that cold, wet and dreary evening and then found out he was on Sport Center, I couldn't believe it! I called to congratulate him with an enormous about of excitement, his response was, "It's no big deal mom. We didn't win and that's what matters." He was humble and a real team guy.

I love him and I miss him more and more. He was the brightest ray of sunshine and I couldn't be more proud of the life he lived. He wasn't perfect. He was a struggling 19 year old. But I think we can all agree that we would not want to be judged for the worst of us or for one night, rather the life we lived. He was an absolutely amazing human, with a heart too big for his body.

His love will live on For3ever
