Tennessee football has landed a new four-star defensive end from England, Emmanuel Okoye, who is poised to make a big impact on and off the field with his rare athletic profile and potential to excel as both an edge rusher and flex tight end.
Discovered at an NFL Africa camp and given the opportunity to learn the game of American football at the NFL Academy in London, Okoye is a former basketball player who boasts elite testing numbers and a rare athletic profile. Despite being relatively new to the sport of football, he has the ability to do a little bit of everything and could emerge as a game-changing player for the Tennessee program.
