ANN ARBOR, Mich. — While being in the middle of fall camp tends to see breaking news in the sphere of starting jobs won or lost, emerging players and such, for the Wolverines, there’s a different story entirely.
Michigan football added a former five-star and college football journeyman to its roster via transfer in Eyabi Anoma, who originally committed to Alabama over the maize and blue, but ended up going to Houston and then settling in at Tennessee-Martin.
