Weight: 228

Hometown: Baldwin, NY

How'd He Get Here?: Made the team during spring try-outs as a freshman.

What'd Scout/Rivals Say?: N/A

Money Quote: Femi's old twitter feed is no longer with us, and what appears to be his new account is private, so we're recycling Femi's girl advice from the last two years. Apologies everyone, I know you were excited for new Femi-isms.

"Like mike tyson and robin givens, the strongest man can be brought down by an evil woman....(but i think u sweeter than sweet)"

Links of Wonder: Femi displays his sweet photo-cropping skills on an old MySpace profile.

What Does Shafer Think: Apparently the team likes him, since he was allowed to run the 10th Mountain Division flag out in the game against Rutgers.

Interesting Nugget O'Interest:

Femi's a legacy. His mother, Olubukunola Phillips Aliyu graduated from the College of Arts & Sciences in 1979.

Let Us Get a Good Look Atchya: We used to have highlights from Femi in high school, but they are no longer on Youtube. For shame. He does pop up in the occasional action shot from practice though, like this one.
