A promising Alabama freshman has entered the transfer portal.
Crimson Tide outside linebacker Eyabi Anoma, a former 5-star recruit, has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal, BamaOnLine has learned. AL.com’s Matt Zenitz was first to report.

Appearing in 12 games this season, Anoma registered nine tackles, including two for a loss, while adding one quarterback hurry as a reserve at outside linebacker. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound edge rusher also earned SEC All-Freshman Team honors from the league’s coaches.

Anoma missed one of Alabama’s playoff practices in December for “a personal day, I guess, to sort some things out,” head coach Nick Saban said at the time. He returned to practice the next day.

Anoma was a coveted 5-star recruit during the 2018 recruiting cycle, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He was considered the No. 1 weak-side defensive end and player in the state of Maryland and the No. 4 overall prospect in the nation. The Baltimore, Md., native chose Alabama over numerous national offers, including Georgia, Florida, Maryland and Michigan.

Established in October of last year, the NCAA’s transfer portal now allows student-athletes to merely enter their name into an online database and merely wait for collegiate teams to contact them. It is also worth noting that players can withdraw their name from the portal, too.
