The No. 7 Ole Miss Rebels had three 100-yard rushers in last week's win over the Auburn Tigers, and running back Zach Evans is gaining publicity for his individual performance.

Evans was recently graded as one of the top-performing running backs of Week 7 for his day against Auburn. Pro Football Focus released the numbers on Monday.

Evans came in as the second-highest rated back in the country with a grade of 88.9. Blake Corum of Michigan (89.6), Jordan Waters of Duke (85.3) and Bijan Robinson of Texas (84.6) were the other players in the top four.

Against the Tigers on Saturday, Evans accounted for 136 rushing yards and one touchdown. He also hauled in a touchdown pass from Jaxson Dart who joined Evans and Quinshon Judkins in the 100-yard rushing category last week.

Evans and the Rebels will hit the road this week to take on the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT on CBS.
