Emmanual Ikechukwu Ogbah, raised in Houston, could find himself back in his home city following the 2016 NFL Draft.
Ogbah and his family moved from Nigeria to Houston when he was just nine years old. Coincidentally, Ogbah’s middle name is Ikechukwu meaning, “God’s Power”; he did just that as he flourished athletically in his new country, eventually becoming a finalist for the greater Houston high school defensive player of the year. After his time at George Bush high school, Ogbah received many Division I scholarship offers, but he chose to commit to Oklahoma State University mainly due to his respect for fellow Nigerian and former OSU offensive tackle Russell Okung.
