Also a basketball player! This is interesting!

If you are 6'6" and can walk and chew gum at the same time, you will probably be on the HS basketball team. From the video, I would certainly hope he is better at football.

The video was more about his story than college potential. There are some videos of him working out and on the football field in his Twitter feed and the Hudl profile.

Actually this video is more on his personal side. As Sly stated, there's more videos of him playing football and basketball. He's like a Nigerian version of Mutombo when it comes to him blocking the ball and getting rebounds.

You do realize Mutombo was/is 7'3"?
Apples and oranges.
It's a great personal story, but especially now that we are recruiting for players who can play at the FBS level, I'm sure we didn't offer him a football scholarship based on that.

I was actually talking about his skills and not his height. Who knows, he might grow to be 7'2(Mutombo's actual height). The point is that he's good at blocking and rebounding, which could be helpful in football.

But can he hit the three? We could really use those skills on the gridiron come FG time.

I don't know if he could flamehunter. Most of his videos are of him blocking, rebounding and dunking. He has a youtube channel named after him.

Yeah. He could grow to be 7'2". Remember anything is possible. If we only wish hard enough!

The real question is how does he compare to Mutombo in THIS department?

Liberty is looking at Ogbu as a tight end.

Glad to see that we are still offering scholarships to Christian high school kids--if they are 'FBS ready'.

Considering his background and weight, I'm not sure how ready he is, but there is certainly room for a kid who is 6'6" as either a TE or DE if we believe he has an athletic up side.

[BJWilliams]

He certainly would be a matchup problem at TE. He would be taller than a lot of DBs...looks like he could beat a LB or D-lineman in coverage too

Plus he could grow to be 7'2"!
