Marc Burch may be gone, but there’s a new young gun set to rock the man-bun in 901 FC’s backline.
The team announced the signing of 21-year-old defender Brecc Evans, whose versatility makes him suited for multiple positions across the defense.
Evans gained experience through several years in the FC Dallas (a Major League Soccer team) Academy from 2014-2018. He played 93 matches during his time there and regularly competed for trophies, having guided his team to a U-16 National Championship in 2016, as well as the Dallas Cup Super Group title in 2017.
After a collegiate season at Cal Poly in 2018, Evans gained his first taste of the USL in 2019 with North Texas SC, a side in League One (the division below 901 FC). And what a taste it was, captaining the team to the division title. And that all came while ranking third in the league as a passer, with 1,543 total passes and an 87.3 percent completion rate.
“We are delighted to have signed Brecc for the 2021 season,” said 901 FC sporting director Tim Howard. “For such a young player, he has captained a side to a League One championship and shown immense ability at multiple positions along the backline.”
Last season, Evans split time between Austin Bold FC and North Texas SC. 901 FC’s 11th signing, he will work closely with fellow defensive stalwarts Zach Carroll, Mark Segbers, Skylar Thomas, and midfielder-turned-defender Raúl González.
901 FC’s home opener will take place on Wednesday, June 16th, against Atlanta United 2.
