College football recruiting never stops, even if guys are already in your own program. Just ask Nick Saban.
Eyabi Anoma, a five-star Alabama freshman OLB, is now out of the transfer portal and staying at Alabama. Nick Saban announced the news Wednesday on ESPN. Saban explained the two “had a conversation,” and he’s now out of the transfer portal.
That’s huge news for the Tide, as Anoma was the No. 4 overall prospect in the class of 2018. He figures to be a big contributor in the coming years.
It was reported Tuesday that Anoma was exploring a transfer, but Saban appears to have settled the discussion.
Anoma is one of the few players to enter the portal and explore a transfer only to return to his original school. Once most players enter the transfer portal, they end up following through with an actual transfer.
