From Nigeria to Scotland to N.J., how David Ojabo became Michigan commit

A king will be playing for Michigan football.

David Ojabo goes by King Ojabo on Twitter.

“I gave myself that nickname because David in the Bible was a king,’’ Ojabo said Wednesday from Scotland via his Twitter account.

The 6-foot-4, 233-pound defensive end from Blair Academy in Blairstown, N.J., committed to Michigan last week.

Ojabo is an ambassador for football in Scotland. He and his family moved from Nigeria to Aberdeen, Scotland in 2007. He came to Blair Academy two years ago, and played soccer and basketball.

But now his goal is to play in the NFL, and he believes defensive coordinator Don Brown and coach Jim Harbaugh can make that happen.
