All the Nigerians!

Got followed recently after he did a Kiyaunta Goodwin style body make over and performing very well in camps this spring.

Reports a 7-1 wingspan and moves really well.

His brother Samuel is a 3* '22 DE with a ton of offers including Clemson.

It’s been mentioned elsewhere but I see this thread hasn’t gotten much love, ND is very much in it here.

 

[IrishRazor82]

Any highly rated OL who wins a wrestling title has literally zero chance of flopping.

East coast, high academic kid. Notre Dame should have a decent shot.

 

[Luckylucci]

I think the lack of discussion stems from being offered in April of last year and still no visit taken or scheduled. With that said, I believe he’s only taken one visit and that was recently to PSU. As of now he’s planning Spring visits and summer OV’s. With maybe a couple in season OV’s as well. Hopefully we can get a couple of those visits.

Elite 2023 OL Samson Okunlola Planning Notre Dame Visit

2023 Massachusetts offensive lineman Samson Okunlola is looking at getting to South Bend in the coming months.

Not much has changed as far at timeline or visits go. But does speak with Freeman and HH regularly.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Harry is going to his school today per Loy...
Can HH work his magic?

 

[BeauBenken]

I think Okunlola is one of their "make room if he's willing to come" recruits. He's been talked about very little here, but the sites have always subtly mentioned him.

Thayer's a good school academically. Same conference as Ty Chan, Hanafin, Zinter the Elder. Two towns over from Traore's high school. We should be all over this kid.

If it helps, their athletic director was my long-ago high school football coach. I could make intros for Harry on the visit today.

 

[BobbyMac]

stlnd01,

Unless you get some shocking, Grade A intel that this is somehow still a thing, I'd be inclined to mothball this profile.

No interviews. Respect me decision

Did not make his top 9: Oregon, Penn State, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Ohio State, Miami, Michigan State, and Oklahoma.

Go Michigan State?

Go Michigan State?

The only thing I can think of is that he didn't want to wait at least 1 year behind either Fisher or Alt.

Go Michigan State?

As a lowkey resident MSU creeper, we thank you

 

[Luckylucci]

Happy with the timing of this development. Makes way for some possible increased importance on Paige and his OV this weekend.

i knew we wouldn't make the list but i'm really glad to see scUM didn't make it either. i'm sure EJ will tell his subscibers that scUM cooled on him for better OL guys

 

[NDBoiler]

The only thing I can think of is that he didn't want to wait at least 1 year behind either Fisher or Alt.

So needing guaranteed PT as a frosh OL is a thing now?

 

[Dale]

 

[IHateMarkMay]

I'd say after MSU, I'd rather him go to Miami than anyone else in his top 8.

 

[calvegas04]

Miami is killing in in recruiting right now

Cristobal will have them rolling in time. I don't think they'll be vying for national titles but they'll be knocking on Clemson's door for the ACC crown.
