Good motor. Definitely standing too tall, but he still made the other team look bad.

I noticed that too, but figured it wasn't worth mentioning as that is easily coachable. Playing well in spite of that tells me he good though.

If he submits to coaching, which I have no doubt he will, then it'll be resolved. Seriously though, he took that other team to the woodshed.

Senior Year Highlights:

Senior Year - Julian Okwara highlights

Julian is a really good prospect that is kind of being overlooked by many because he is Romeo's brother and committed early. He is way further along and a better prospect than Romeo at the same stage.

I remember Romeo came in extremely young. Is Julian the same way as far as age goes for a senior?

Maybe he's further along because he is literally older than Romeo was at the same stage. Or just simply a better prospect. IDK. Talking out loud...typing.

Wow. He doesn't just tackle people, he annihilates them! Almost everyone he hit in that senior video got up slowly. I know it's a highlight tape, but hot damn!

Little brothers seem to turn out better because the older brother taught them well.

Really impressed with this kids closing speed and ability to shed blocks. Once he puts on weight, watch out.

16 months since the last tweet below and he's up just 10 lbs. Blessed with the metabolism of a shrew.

241 this year is a good start, 250-255 next year and he's a wrecking ball. AT 230-something last year he was still the leader in chaos per snap. If he turns out to be a star, it won't surprise me.

This one of those games that a lot of people really cane out of their shell.

It's a shame Kareem, Hayes and Okwara are all on the same clock.

Next season, I expect Okwara to be a 255lb, #1 on the depth chart, DROP.

His chaos per snap just keeps increasing.

The one encouraging thing is Ogundeji is looking pretty good, hopefully he continues to ascend. Hopefully we don't lose any of our big three after this year. Just give us one more season please. (and we need some one to emerge on the interior)

I was amazed to look at the stats and see only 1 tackle for loss I thought he would have 4 or 5.
