He goes by 'O-3' as a nickname, but there was never any doubt that Olakunle Fatukasi was going to play D-1 football.

The Rutgers freshman, who began playing the sport as a wide receiver and cornerback in third grade, is following in the steps of his older brother by earning a FBS scholarship. He's already a youth football coach. And Fatukasi listens to Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis' motivational speeches in his spare time.
