After a solid 8-5 season in Mike Norvell’s first year as the head coach, Memphis continues trend in the right direction as four star offensive tackle Obinna Eze has officially joined the Memphis Tigers.
According to 247Sports Composite ranking system Eze becomes the best prospect in the 2017 class to sign with a G5 school. Eze is ranked as the 211th best prospect in the country. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, and Eze has been committed to sign with Memphis since last August.
The fact Memphis was able to stave off SEC schools for the coveted lineman (especially rival Ole Miss) is a huge coup for Mike Norvell on the recruiting trail.
