Evan Pardue '25 Recruiting Profile

I have a drive to excel in many areas in life: academics, training, and competition, and it shows in how I focus on achieving my goals.  One of the highest compliments my coaches give to me is that I am a very "coachable" kid.  I am always respectful (learned through years of Taekwondo at the national level), always punctual (learned from my strict club track coach), and am always prepared (learned from my parents, who are athletes as well).  After competing in track at a national level, I have learned so many things in handling pressure and what it really takes to get to the next level.  Though track is often thought of as an individual sport,  I am considered a "team player" whether it's helping with practices in a leadership role or running the anchor leg in relays as a freshman on the varsity team.  I am ready to learn more, and can't wait to start my journey in college athletics.
