Alabama’s second offensive line transfer addition this offseason, Anugwom comes to Alabama after two seasons with the Ball State Cardinals in which he did not play much. In 2023, Anugwom did not appear in a game in order to redshirt, and then saw time in a few games in 2024 along Ball State’s offensive front.

Prior to Ball State, Anugwom was unranked as a prospect according to the 247Sports Composite rankings out of Antioch High School in Tennessee in 2023.

The redshirt sophomore will now likely play a depth role next season for the Crimson Tide, as starting left tackle Kadyn Proctor is set to return in 2025, while right tackle Elijah Pritchett is currently also expected back. Anugwom is also the second offensive line addition for Alabama in the transfer portal this offseason, joining Kam Dewberry.
