Evan Blow returns to the ODAC after spending five years as a soccer player for Randolph College in Lynchburg from 2017-21.

Blow had a decorated career with the WildCats, playing in 82 games with 69 starts. He scored 37 goals in his career to couple with 20 assists. He set Randolph single season records in 2021 with 44 points and 18 goals.

Evan was a team captain and was named a first team All-American in 2021. He added two ODAC Player of the Year nods as well as two VaSID Player of the Year honors in back-to-back seasons in 2020 and 2021. Evan made the All-ODAC first team twice and third team once over his career.

"Evan is a great addition to our staff," said Head Coach Josh Laux. "He was a player who went from good to great, willing himself into a two time ODAC Player of The Year and a first team All-American.  We have a very good program that is working to be great.  Evan will have the chance to bring the will and determination he showed in between the lines to the coaching side of things and help us make that last jump.  He knows what it takes to be successful in this league.  I am confident he will not only recruit top level players but will work hard to recruit the right players for RMC."

After his collegiate career, Evan continued playing professionally in Croatia in their third division in 2022 where he tallied a goal and two assists in seven appearances. He then spent three months trialing with teams in Germany.

Over the summer, Evan played with Skyline Elite Pro 23 where he led the team in goals, netting at least one in every game. He was a key part of the club's first ever semifinal run.

Blow has coaching experience in Virginia, helping train youth soccer players with the Nelson Soccer Club before becoming an assistant coach at Amherst High School in 2020 during his career at Randolph. 

In 2023, Blow spent time back where he grew up in Charlottesville, working with Charlottesville High School as an assistant coach in 2023 and will continue to do so. He helped run the goal scoring academy with the CVille Alliance as well as an assistant coach.

Evan joins a Randolph-Macon program that has seen much success. Since 2016 RMC men's soccer has had the five top conference winning percentages for the program in nearly two decades 5-3-1 (2016), 6-2-1 (2017), 5-3 (2019), 5-2 (2021 Spring), and 5-1-3 in 2021.
