GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas -- The athleticism and play-making ability of highly recruited junior defensive back Jeffrey Okudah of Grand Prairie (Texas) South may only be surpassed by his desire to be a better person and student.
Okudah, 6-1, 190 pounds, has scholarship offers from more than 30 schools, including Arkansas, Ohio State, Stanford, Texas A&M and Texas. ESPN rates him the No. 2 safety and No. 10 overall prospect in the nation in the 2017 class.
Grand Prairie South Coach Brent Whitson said Okudah hasn't changed with all the attention from many of the top programs in the nation.
