TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama freshman linebacker Eyabi Anoma was not spotted out on the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields on Monday as the Crimson Tide continued its preparation for No. 4 Oklahoma and the Capital One Orange Bowl semifinal (Saturday, Dec. 29, at 7 p.m. CT).

Following the fourth of seven bowl practices in Tuscaloosa, Nick Saban provided an update.

“I haven’t really had the opportunity to visit with him,” Saban said in a press conference. “He kind of had a personal day, I guess, to sort some things out. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get him back on track here soon.”

During Monday’s practice session, Anoma tweeted this:

Made a decision and will stick by it — Eyabi Okie (@TherealEyabi) December 17, 2018

Someone responded to Enoma’s tweet with “Transfer possible?” and the freshman simply tweeted, “No.”

Appearing in 11 games this season, Anoma has registered nine tackles, including two for a loss, while adding one quarterback hurry as a reserve at outside linebacker. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound edge rusher also earned SEC All-Freshman Team honors from the league’s coaches.

Anoma was a coveted 5-star recruit during the 2018 recruiting cycle, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He was considered the No. 1 weak-side defensive end and player in the state of Maryland and the No. 4 overall prospect in the nation. The Baltimore, Md., native chose Alabama over numerous national offers, including Georgia, Florida, Maryland and Michigan.

The Crimson Tide will practice again Tuesday, Dec. 18, at approximately 1:50 p.m. CT.
