Chris Reynolds' return was exactly what the Charlotte 49ers needed. The sixth-year senior engineered a game-winning drive in the final minute of play to lift the 49ers to their first victory of the season, 42-41 over Georgia State in Atlanta on Saturday. After missing the previous two games with an upper-body injury, Reynolds totaled 401 yards and five touchdowns in the win, including the game-winning touchdown to Grant DuBose with 17 seconds to play to put Charlotte in the win column. - Charlotte Observer

Charlotte's wide receiving unit boasts a 2020 Biletnikoff Watch Listers: Victor Tucker (the program's second all-time leading receiver); a 2022 Biletnikoff Watch Lister: Grant DuBose (the team's 2021 leading receiver) and the 2021 C-USA Freshman of the Year: Elijah Spencer (shared the 2021 team-lead with DuBose - a transfer from DII Miles College in Ala. -- with six TD catches.

In three games, the trio of Tucker (200 rec. yds), DuBose (229 rec. yds) and Spencer (223 rec. yds) have combined for 652 (217.3/gm) of the 757 receiving yards (86 percent). All three have at least 200 rec. yds and are averaging over 65 yd/gm. Tucker leads the team with 19 receptions and has two TDs, DuBose has team-highs in yards, TDs (3) and rec. avg.

08/22/22 - Eyabi Okie-Anoma, rSr/2024, Charlotte + More +

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 honors. 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 could 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 once 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 originally 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

08/22/22 - Eyabi Okie-Anoma, rSr/2024, Charlotte + More +

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 School 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 football 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 grandmother. "She would have been happy I graduated and turned things around," Anoma wrote. - Detroit News

08/21/22 - Eyabi Okie-Anoma, rSr/2024, Charlotte + More +

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 in 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 players 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 transferring 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

08/09/22 - Terez Traynor, rSr/2025, Charlotte + More +

Terez Traynor got the ax. In a good way. Idaho's redshirt sophomore receiver caught 50 passes for 737 yards and three touchdowns last year and was named to the All-Big Sky Conference third team. Nonetheless, "he's had his ups and downs," said new Vandals' coach Jason Eck. "We've got to keep him doing what he's supposed to do." So, an optimistic sign on a pretty good first day of preseason football camp, according to Eck, was awarding the daily practice award, the Vandal battle ax, to Traynor. As one of the team's most talented players, Traynor agrees he is responsible for setting a standard for the Vandals. "I'm still learning to be a leader," he admitted. "I'm young myself." But he had a leader-like response to getting the ax. "I didn't get it just for me," he said. "The whole receiver group gets it." - Idaho Statesman

08/08/22 - Markees Watts, rSr/2023, Charlotte + More +

There are nine 49ers who elected to return for their super-senior seasons, headlined by Chris Reynolds, Victor Tucker and Markees Watts. Reynolds, the program's leading passer, has been automatic through summer and the beginning of fall camp. Returning for a sixth season was something he just couldn't pass up. "Back in 2017, I didn't even know if I was going to be invited to a fall camp. I was a walk-on, and I was just grateful for an opportunity," Reynolds said. "That guy in 2017 would be punching me right now if I didn't take this opportunity. I love football. It's only right to finish what we started here. I'm thankful to be back, but we've got work to do."

On the opposite side of the ball, Watts is just 2.5 sacks away from breaking Alex Highsmith's program record of 20. For Watts, coming back for another year was a no-brainer. "I didn't see it as a choice. It was never an option to leave," Watts said. "How can I call myself a senior, how can I call myself an older guy, when the first time I face adversity as a leader, I quit and run? There's no abandoning ship. This is my family; this is my home. I wasn't leaving Charlotte for nothing." - Charlotte Observer

2022 PRESEASON BILETNIKOFF AWARD WATCH LIST: Grant DuBose, Charlotte,...DuBose burst onto the scene in 2021 as an impact transfer from Miles College. He led the 49ers with 62 catches for 892 yards and shared the team-lead with six TD catches. Memorably, he had two TD catches in his debut as the 49ers defeated Duke, 31-28, for the program's first win over a power conference opponent. He turned his first target as a 49er into a 56-yard TD reception against the Blue Devils and finished the game with a season-high 118 receiving yards.

He also had a pair of TD catches in the 49ers C-USA victory over Middle Tennessee. He had eight games with 70 or more receiving yards, including three 100-yard performances: 118 vs. Duke; 114 vs. Middle Tennessee and 108 at Louisiana Tech. His 892 receiving yards are the third-most by a 49er in school history and the second-most at the FBS-level. He averaged 14.4 yards per reception and 74.3 yards per game. - Charlotte Football

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 league 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). Murray 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 count 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 and 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
