Starting to get some action on Joseph Ogunbanjo. Had a 4.0 through Jr year.

Committed to Baylor in Aug but did not sign and backed off his commitment last Saturday.

Super athlete for the position. A hand in the dirt OLB/WDE who has the skill set to be a good Drop.

In a hurricane shortened season of 8 games he put up:

74 Tkl ... 12.5 Sks ... 18 TFL ... 4 FF

Runs track too:

21+ Long Jump
22.3 - 200M
11.5 - 100M (Best reported time)
State qualifier on Alief's 4x1 and 4x2 relay teams.

I would take a chance on him ND needs edge rushers.

 

[Golden Glory]

Those track numbers at 220 are impressive!

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

We need another DE potential in this class. With his size, he could grow into a number of positions.

As others said, his track numbers look really good. Offer him, we aren't adding NPF or ASB to this group so we should start finding some developmental prospects.

 

[Domina Nostra]

What an athlete!

 

[BobbyMac]

Bingo. Contact made.

Elston in Houston to see Ogunbanjo today.

Doesn't sound like they are all hyped about him. Might not have the length they want but I can't unsee that film.

That sound you hear is the air rushing out of the balloon.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Yeah, there are a whole lot of sick high school athletes that just arents big enough for P5!

 

[BobbyMac]

Looks like ND passed.
