Eyink was "Mr. Consistent" for the Flyers in the second half of the season as he helped them overcome a 0-4 start to the season to finish as a sectional runner-up with a 14-10 record.
In the nine games of the season before New Year's, Eyink only reached double figures four times and was held just to 11 points in the Asset Allocation Associates Holiday Classic in Coldwater. Once 2021 was rung in, Eyink's game picked up, scoring in double figures in 11 of his final 13 regular season games and averaging 13.7 points per contest. Eyink added 19 in Marion's tournament opener with Waynesfield-Goshen and then scored 23 points in an overtime loss to to eventual regional runner-up New Bremen.
Eyink was a first-team All-MAC selection earned All-District honors for the Flyers this season.
