Before celebrating Christmas in Miami (Fla.) and preparing for Oklahoma, Alabama football went through five days of practice in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Someone in particular was missing during one of the sessions, as the Crimson Tide’s depth at outside linebacker looked a little thin.
Eyabi Anoma, a freshman, was not spotted in two viewing periods and the media wanted answers from Nick Saban. After not releasing much information, other than stating how he permitted the five-star to have a “personal day,” there were some that assumed the worst.
Thoughts of him possibly transferring hit Twitter, and though Anoma would silence the noise, there was still the question of why he was not at practice.
