Koumba is a transplant from France who was supposed to enroll early but now won’t arrive until summer. As a foreign player playing against subpar competition (by American standards), he was able to do a lot of things with his athleticism that he won’t be able to do immediately against FBS opponents. Even though a guy with 1st round talent in David Ojabo spent some time playing high school ball in New Jersey, he took two seasons of being a non-factor before exploding in 2021.

I would be surprised if Koumba makes an impact in 2023, and that surprise would have existed even if he had enrolled early. At roughly 6’6″ and 230 pounds, he has a long way to go before he will be a viable Big Tenn player.
