Decent film. Great first step and uses his hands well and he's lengthy. He'll obviously need to put on weight or be used as a stand up pass rush specialist.

Welcome Joseph!

[Marty]

Dang, he's fast. Will need to beef up from 205 though.

[Harry]

Looks like his bro played for Rice:

Great program to start a pipeline. Several D1 players every year. He has an older brother that played DE for Rice and is currently in the NFL, Cheta.

He is fast off the ball and gets to the quarterback. I'm assuming he will have to put on weight or he will maybe be a OLB.

[BillySee58]

Grayshirting per Vito. I really like this pickup. His highlights say first year, so this may have been his first year playing football. His brother made it to the NFL, so this kid has the genes to legitimately put on weight naturally.

With all these May-grad JUCOs I wonder if we'll be open to letting him enroll in the fall if some don't make if in. Or they may be dead set on giving him the extra year, because of his weight.

Please football baby Jesus let him be our JPP

With those wheels he could be a good Will-LB candidate.

Get this young man up to 240 to 250 lbs. while retaining that speed and quickness and watch out! He will make us forget about Miller.

This guy has got some speed! Not sure how feasible it is to add 40-50 lbs on his frame, tho.

For all you "Let's convert this guy to DE" folks, let's convert this guy to WR.

His brother got up to 255, and he's not quite as tall as Joseph. It's possible, especially after a grayshirt, then a redshirt. He's coming in here to rush the passer.

Sure hope so. (oh and I wasn't serious about WR).

He has got a motor on him.

Having him sign as a gray shirt gives us protection against a JUCO signee not making it to campus.

We could probably use one more gray shirt candidate.

[Coach Davis]

247 just rated him 3 star and 80

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

3 star defensive end at 205 lbs that's quite impressive

[BillySee58]

Enrolling next semester, I'm guessing

From meangreensports.com

 

Ozougwe finished his senior season with 78 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and eight sacks. He was an all-district 23-5A player and a team captain. He enrolled at North Texas in the fall and will join in the football team in the spring.

There ya go. I guess you are allowed to enroll at the school you're grayshirting at, as long as you take less than 12 hours and don't practice with the team.

Granted, this info is straight from meangreensports.com and the same article that misspelled two of the players names so I would take it with a grain of salt.

Is this a single offer kid?
