Georgia football fans have seen a defensive star blossom right before their eyes over the past two season. Outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari, a Marietta, Georgia native, came to UGA in 2018. That season he redshirted, seeing time against Middle Tennessee, Georgia Tech and Texas in the Sugar Bowl.
In 2019, Ojulari made his name heard. He played in every game, starting thirteen, and had 33 total tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 1 forced fumble, a team-best 5.5 sacks and a team-high 34 quarterback pressures. He was the co-winner of the Defensive Most Improved player at the team’s post-season awards gala.
