Charles Omenihu entertained the idea of spending the 2018 season playing for a paycheck, but by electing to return for one final season with the Texas Longhorns, he may ultimately earn much more money.
Four sacks and seven tackles for loss may not be the most mind-boggling feat on paper, but at 6’7, 280 pounds, Omeinihu owns the measurables that make for an intriguing NFL prospect, even if only as a project. Project players don’t always pan out though, and after receiving his NFL evaluations, Omenihu came to the realization that returning to Texas for a bit longer stay would be the better path than potentially falling victim to the NFL’s ‘Not for Long’ reputation.
