Redshirt sophomore, Anthony Egbuniwe, thinks that he is ready to contribute to the defensive scheme after sitting out a year. Egbuniwe transferred from Tulsa and will play at DE this season.

“They just let [ends] go, let them play football,” said Egbuniwe, who was ineligible to play last season after transferring. “You go out there, you rush the passer, make plays. That’s what I love.”

Egbuniwe, who is from Greenville, S.C., returned to the South for two reasons: mom and his former coaches left Tulsa.

“Well, my mom got sick, and there was the coaching change [former Tulsa head coach Steve Kragthorpe and defensive line coach Mark Nelson went to Louisville],” he said. “I made the decision I needed to be closer to home. “Mom’s doing better. It was the right decision.”
