2024 Arizona football season countdown: 48 days to kickoff
A LOOK BACK — NO. 48 BYRON EVANS & ROB GRONKOWSKI. With it being the 48th day until kickoff between the Lobos and Wildcats, the best players to wear No. 48 for Arizona is linebacker Byron Evans (with the Wildcats from 1983-86) and tight end Rob Gronkowski (2007-08). Evans is an Arizona Hall of Fame member who ranks second on school’s list with 552 tackles. He went on to play eight seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles as part of one of the more successful defenses in NFL history. The “Gang Green” defense included the likes of Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Clyde Simmons and Seth Joyner. Evans was a second-team All-American, as selected by the Associated Press and Football News, in 1986. He was the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year in 1986. He earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors as a junior and senior. His 552 career tackles rank only behind the legendary Ricky Hunley (who finished with 566). Evans set the school record with 118 unassisted tackled in 1985 and came back with 111 more the next season. Counting bowl games (which the Arizona record book does not), Evans has two of the top three tackle seasons in Pac-12 history — 211 in 1985 and 210 in 1986. Evans resides in his native Phoenix, where he has worked as coach, teacher and pastor. He coached at his alma mater Phoenix South Mountain for four seasons and remains a physical education teacher in the Phoenix Union School District. Gronkowski was inducted into the Arizona Hall of Fame last year. He is one of the most prominent Arizona alumni today and enjoying an All-America career at Arizona before going on to establish himself as one of the most accomplished tight ends in the history of the National Football League. The 2008 First Team All-Pac-10 and Third Team All-American finished his collegiate career as Arizona’s record holder in a single game, season, and career for receptions, yards, and touchdowns by a tight end. Gronkowski was selected in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots and went on to enjoy an 11-year NFL career that included four Super Bowl championships, four First Team All-Pro selections, five Pro Bowl appearances, and a spot on the NFL’s 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. He is an NFL analyst for Fox among his many post-career multimedia ventures.
