The 2022 season featured plenty of “first time since 1987” occurrences for Eastern Michigan. The Eagles won nine games for the first time in 35 years and also earned their first bowl victory since that landmark season.
Experiencing success which hadn’t been witnessed in three-and-a-half decades in Ypsilanti, MI, it’s unquestionable that Eastern Michigan was loaded with plenty of talent on that squad. And perhaps no player made a greater impact on the offense than guard Sidy Sow, who leveraged his collegiate success into an NFL Draft selection Saturday.
Sow was selected by the New England Patriots with the 117th pick of the 2023 NFL Draft.
