gemofthehills already shared one article that mentions the tough dynamic duos we'll see against Sam Houston (Jahari Kay and Joseph Wallace) and UCA (Tyler Hudson and Lujuan Winningham).
Now it looks like the UTM game may be a bit tougher than we thought. Eyabi Anoma, a former 5-star recruit who transferred to the Skyhawks in June 2020, is on the roster this fall after sitting out the 2020-2021 season, and has reportedly been "unstoppable" during practices. He's playing Jack linebacker for the Skyhawks.
Physically, Anoma is a monster athletic specimen, at 6-5, 240, with crazy strength, speed, and quickness off the snap.
The downside? He tends to use his strength, speed, and quickness to win most battles against blockers. It works great, until he runs up against someone who can match those attributes, or someone who has better technique.
He's also bounced around a bit. He was unhappy with playing time at Bama (possibly because Saban demanded he work on his technique...) and didn't take his academics very seriously. He entered the transfer portal, withdrew from the portal, then re-entered it and transferred to Houston.
His brief time in Houston ended with him being dismissed from the team for unspecified "violations of university policy".
And that's how he landed with UTM.
If he keeps his head in the game (and nose in the books) and doesn't flake out, he could be a major disrupter of the Gamecock offense on Sept. 25.
