Eyabi Okie-Anoma, Charlotte, Player News

The top-rated player in Alabama's 2018 recruiting class is looking to transfer to a fifth different school. Eyabi Okie, who was known as Eyabi Anoma when he signed with Alabama as a five-star recruit more than five years ago, entered the NCAA transfer po rtal on Thursday, On3 Sports and the Detroit Free Press reported. Okie is a graduate transfer. Okie was the No. 4-rated player nationally in 247 Sports' composite when he signed with Alabama on Dec. 20, 2017.He played in 12 games as a freshman in 2018, earning all-freshman SEC honors after recording two tackles for a loss. But Okie was later suspended by Alabama and entered the transfer portal before the 2019 season, landing that season at Houston. But Houston dismissed him after the 2019 season and, after sitting out the 2020 season, he later joined Tennessee-Martin for the 2021 season. Okie transferred again to Michigan before the 2022 season, changing his last name to honor his mother. He finished this season with 2.5 sacks for the Wolverines . - Birmingham News

After sitting out the 2020 season due to NCAA-imposed transfer rules, Eyabi Anoma got an opportunity at UT-Martin, where he compiled 36 tackles (9 1/2 for a loss) and six sacks in an edge-rushing role while earning all-Ohio Valley Conference newcomer hon ors. The short timeline, however, could delay his chance of getting onto the field. Michigan is in the final stretch of fall camp, with the season opener just 16 days away on Sept. 3 against Colorado State. If he does prove himself on the field, Anoma co uld help bolster an unproven edge-rushing group impacted by the departures of Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo. Mike Morris and Taylor Upshaw are expected to lead, with a supporting cast comprised of Braiden McGregor and Jaylen Harrell, among others, but coaches have been frank about not having a star edge guy to lean on.As a result, they say, the production may come from a list of players, one that could include Anoma. The Baltimore native starred at St. Frances Academy in high school and was on ce considered a top-five player nationally for his length, athleticism and play on the field. In 2017, Biff Poggi, his high school coach who's now on Jim Harbaugh's staff at Michigan, referred to Anoma as "the best player I've ever coached." Michigan ori ginally recruited Anoma, but lost out to Alabama. Now, it appears, he's going to get a third chance at the FBS level, for a coach who showed interest in the very beginning. - Ann Arbor News

Michigan has added graduate transfer Eyabi Anoma, a top-rated defensive end coming out of high school in 2018 who has been at Alabama, then Houston and Tennessee-Martin. Anoma's name appeared in the University of Michigan directory as a student in the Sc hool of Social Work on Wednesday, and his status as a graduate transfer was confirmed to The Detroit News early Thursday by Michigan football spokesman Dave Ablauf. Anoma will be immediately eligible for the Wolverines, whose season opens Sept. 3 against Colorado State.Anoma was a five-star recruit out of St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, a school that has produced several current Michigan players, including running back Blake Corum and linebacker Nikhai Hill-Green. Michigan associate head footba ll coach Biff Poggi had been St. Frances' head coach. Anoma shared a message Thursday morning on Twitter about his latest move, saying he is grateful for "all the positive and negative remarks" and is dedicating the rest of his football career to his gra ndmother. "She would have been happy I graduated and turned things around," Anoma wrote. - Detroit News

Eyabi Anoma, a five-star member of the 2018 Crimson Tide signing class, is now headed to Michigan, according to On3.com. It would be the fourth stop in a college career that began with high potential. The Baltimore product was the No. 4 overall recruit i n the 247Sports composite for 2018, behind just Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields and Xavier Thomas (Clemson). Anoma had just nine tackles in 12 appearances as a freshman in Tuscaloosa before being dismissed from Alabama. "We have a law that protects player s and students in what you can and can't say," Nick Saban said when asked about Anoma in August 2019. "The guy was dismissed from school, and that's really all I can say about it." Anoma then went to Houston but never appeared in a game before transferri ng to UT-Martin.There he played for head coach Jason Simpson - the father of Alabama freshman quarterback Ty Simpson. After sitting out the 2020 season, Anoma made the OVC's All-Newcomer team with 36 tackles, 9.5 of which were for a loss including six sacks. His best game was an eight-tackle (4.5 for loss) performance against Austin Peay. Anoma entered the transfer portal for a third time earlier this week. - Birmingham News

Coming off an OVC Championship and its first FCS Playoff victory, UT Martin has been picked as the preseason football favorites in the Ohio Valley Conference for the 2022 season. The Skyhawks picked up 10 of a possible 14 first-place votes in a poll of l eague head coaches and communications directors. It marks the first time the Skyhawks have been picked the preseason favorites since joining the league prior to the 1992 season. UT Martin totaled 70 points to finish ahead of Southeast Missouri (59). Murr ay State (51) was tabbed third, just ahead of Tennessee State (46), who also picked up a first-place vote. The poll was rounded out by Tennessee Tech (29), Eastern Illinois (20) and Lindenwood (19).This season, the 75th year of the Conference, the OVC welcomes Lindenwood and has Murray State as an affiliate to comprise the seven-team league. Six of the seven teams will play five conference games that count in the league standings, with Lindenwood, who joined in February, playing four games that c ount in the standings (and challenging Eastern Illinois in a contest that counts as a non-conference game). In addition to the League schedule, OVC schools will collaborate with the Southland Conference in a non-conference scheduling alliance for 2022 an d 2023. Beginning in 2023, the OVC and Big South Conference begin an agreement to create an association between its football member institutions. - Ohio Valley Conference Football

After being removed from the team's roster, Nick Saban on Saturday was asked about the status of Eyabi Anoma. The outside linebacker was dismissed from the university, Saban said, and there are laws that prevent him from saying much more. The sophomore f rom Baltimore had entered the NCAA transfer portal for the second time last week. A five-star recruit, Eyabi was a consensus top-10 overall prospect in the 2018 signing class. He played a limited role as a true freshman as a raw talent with only two year s of football experience before arriving in Tuscaloosa. - Birmingham News

Eyabi Anoma is officially no longer a part of the Alabama football program. The former five-star recruit was removed from the Crimson Tide's online roster on Thursday. That shouldn't come as a surprise. AL.com reported on Sunday that the second-year line backer had entered the NCAA transfer portal and was no longer a member of the Alabama football team. As previously reported by AL.com, Anoma was suspended by the university earlier this summer and this latest development with him stems from a new univers ity level issue, according to sources. - Birmingham News
