[2] Evans began the season on the practice roster, but was named the starting quarterback for the team's Week 9 match against the Edmonton Elks with veterans Matt Nichols and Dominique Davis both being placed on injured reserve.

[3] Evans played surprisingly well in his first appearance in the CFL, completing 15 of 22 passes for 191 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, leading Ottawa to their second win of the season.

[7] Evans continued to start for the Redblacks until Week 14 when it was announced that former NFL quarterback Devlin Hodges would make his CFL debut.

[10] Three days later the Redblacks traded for quarterback Nick Arbuckle from Edmonton to compete with Evans for the starting role while Masoli recovers.

[16] He dressed primarily as the backup quarterback in 2023, but started in place of the incumbent starter, Cody Fajardo, for two games, winning both, while the latter recovered from an injury.
