Just a day after Chargers mandatory minicamp came to an end, former Ohio State sprinter and wideout Praise Olatoke, who partook on a tryout basis, has been signed by the team.

Olatoke is a Nigerian-born, Glasgow-bred athlete who never suited up for a game of American Football until he played on the Ohio State Club Football Team. He’s currently one of nearly two dozen players in the NFL’s International Player Pathway for the 2024 season.

While playing club football at OSU, Olatoke caught just seven passes, but he took them for almost 300 total yards and a handful of touchdowns.
