Two years ago, Tobi Akinniranye was just like any other Georgia Southern student. After blowing out his knee playing high school football at Centennial, he came to GSU to start pursuing a career in medicine, and spent his Saturdays in Paulson Stadium cheering on the Eagles with the rest of the student body. In 2008, a series of events started to unravel and have now put him into a group of GSU running backs trying to earn the job as the starting B-back – the feature back of the triple option offense.
