Clemson 'definitely up there' for Nigerian DE

Despite the fact he didn’t start playing football until last year, four-star defensive end David Ojabo has earned more than 30 scholarship offers to play football in college.

Ojabo, a rising senior at Blair Academy in Blairstown, N.J., moved to the United States just two years ago. He was born in Nigeria, moved to Scotland when he was 7 years old and now lives with a host family in New Jersey while attending Blair, a boarding school.

When Ojabo took up football as a junior in 2017, he admittedly knew next to nothing about the sport.

“I didn’t even know anything coming into it,” Ojabo told The Clemson Insider.
