Official Draft Ogbah thread. 6'4", 270 pound monster that has been on an absolute tear this season. He's been incredibly productive thus far in his college career. He's fairly raw, didn't start playing football until 7th grade and is only a junior but nobody has really been able to stop this guy. Has 22 sacks already in his career and is on pace to break Leslie O'Neal's OK State school record. Figures as a fit at 4-3 DE or potentially a 3-4 OLB. Physically he is already well developed for his age and comes with good athleticism for the position, reportedly running in the 4.6 range.
Teams have had to resort to extreme measures to stop him, check out the triple-block here, both the TE and FB come up to assist the OG in stopping Ogbah.

The Oklahoma State defensive end dominates games in ways few can. He has set up shop in opponents' backfields this season, recording 7.5 sacks, nine hurries and 11 tackles for loss in six games. "His ability to take over a game, from a defensive end position, that's something unique," Oklahoma State defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements said. "He matters. You have to know where No. 38 is on the field. And even if you do know, he still has the ability to make the play. Those things don't happen by chance. There's a lot more to it than just luck."
Those seeds were planted long before they sprouted this fall. The early mornings running stadiums, challenging summer workouts and extra film sessions to make sure he is prepared each Saturday, are the underlying factors every time he steps on the field and dominates. "I work way too hard to settle for less, that's what I tell myself," he said. "It comes from the hard work put in during the summer and spring. Running stadiums in the cold, cold air in your lungs … we only get 12 games [to play]. We want to win championships, we want to be the best, we've put in the work. It's a pride thing, we've worked hard to earn this reward."
