Omenihu recorded 45 combined tackles, 18 for a loss, and a career-high 9.5 sacks as a senior with the Longhorns this past season.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, who compares Omenihu to Romeo Okwara, wrote the following about Omenihu within his scouting report:
"Omenihu steps off the bus with a physique that says NFL defensive end, but his skill-set and football acumen are still very raw. He looks like a 5-technique and lines up there, but he simply doesn't have the grit or anchor needed for that line of work. As a 4-3 end, Omenihu sets a stronger edge and has shown some potential to mix power with get-off as a rusher. His game lacks instincts and consistency, but he's got the traits and potential to become an eventual starter if he can continue his development."
