ATHENS, Ga. — Amiya Evans, the No. 14 ranked forward in the 2022 class according to ESPN, has signed with the Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball team, head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson announced Friday.
The Tampa, Fla., native will be a freshman this upcoming season at Georgia.
"We are elated that Amiya has chosen the University of Georgia," Coach 'ABE' said. "Amiya is an extremely skilled forward who can stretch the floor. She brings a versatility at the forward spot that will enhance what we do on the offensive end. Amiya has a high basketball IQ, has been around the game her entire life and comes from an outstanding basketball family."
The 6-foot-2 Evans is a consensus four-star and top-70 overall prospect nationally and was a 2022 McDonald's All-America nominee. She prepped at DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Fla., and played for the Miami Suns.
DME Academy earned a No. 2 national ranking by ESPN after making it to the semifinals of the 2022 GEICO National Championships. Evans averaged close to a double-double with 9.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game this past season.
Evans also played at Tampa Bay Tech, where she helped the team capture its first-ever state title back in 2019. She led Tampa Bay Tech in rebounds with 7.6 per game as the squad finished with a 29-3 overall record.
Evans is the daughter of NBA veteran Reggie Evans, who played for the Seattle Supersonics, Denver Nuggets, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets and Sacramento Kings.
