Since the day he was born, Otega Oweh was manufactured off of mentality and grit.
Hailing from Newark, New Jersey, just shy of 700 miles from Lexington, Otega grew up playing baseball, football and basketball in the street with his two older brothers, Odafe, who is a linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, and Irekefe Kaylen, who is a defensive back for the Monmouth Hawks at the NCAA Division-I level.
