Evans likely out for Georgia State’s opener

Georgia State’s offensive line issues may be recurring.

Starting guard Taylor Evans sustained an arm injury over the weekend and is questionable for Wednesday’s season-opening game against Abilene Christian at the Georgia Dome. Coach Trent Miles said Evans will be evaluated today.

Evans signed with Panthers after a year at Saddleback College.

If Evans can’t play, Garrett Gorringe will start.

Georgia State hasn’t been able to keep a consistent set of starters on the line in two years. Last year’s line at one point was down to its fifth-string center because of injuries. Other starters missed games because of suspensions. Two starters quit after the season’s second game.

Back-up lineman Steve Wolgamott, out the past two weeks with a knee injury, is listed as probable. He is working with the second-team.
