Super Bowl LVI: Cobb Schools Represented On LA Rams Sidelines

COBB COUNTY, GA — A total of 12 players on the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals rosters for Super Bowl LVI have ties to Georgia — and Cobb County Schools will be represented on the Rams sidelines.

For Cobb Schools football fans, one player is a "hometown hero," according to district officials. Tremayne Anchrum Jr. — McEachern High School graduate and son of McEachern head basketball coach Tremayne Anchrum Sr. — will be donning his No. 72 Rams uniform.

Anchrum Jr. played his college years at Clemson University. He was part of both national championship teams at Clemson in 2016 and 2018, according to a news release. The Rams selected him in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

“Even though he probably won’t get to play, he puts in 100 percent and gives his all in everything he does,” Anchrum Sr. said. “He is a professional, and he’s been that way since his high school days here at McEachern. His leadership is evident from the moment you meet him. And I would say that even if he wasn’t my son.”

His father went on to say he's so proud of his son and all he's accomplished on the field, but more importantly, he's proud of the person he became.

“He’s mature beyond his years,” Anchrum Sr. said in the release. “He’s wise and kind; he’s gentle. He can be aggressive, but he also hugs and loves those around him. His coaches love him, and his teammates love him. I love him too; he’s just an incredible person.”

McEachern Athletic Director Myra Camese said Anchrum Jr. excelled at both football and basketball in his high school days, and echoed his father's words about his character.

“Tremayne is an amazing human being,” Camese said. “He was a positive influence to everyone he met. He always had a smile and an encouraging word. We were privileged to have him at McEachern, but we’re also blessed to have two of his younger siblings now. The Anchrum family is a great example of what makes Cobb and Powder Springs such a special place to live.”
