Moro Ojomo hit the college landscape earlier than most.
Courtesy of a Nigerian education system that allowed him to begin school at the age of three, Ojomo enjoyed a two-year head start over his peers. Thus, he was just 16 years old when he signed with the Texas Longhorns as part of Tom Herman’s 2018 class, and only a few weeks past 17 when he stepped foot on the field at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium for the Texas season opener, making him one of the youngest players in all of college football.
Ojomo’s circumstances afforded him an opportunity to focus almost solely on development during that debut season, appearing in just three games in 2018 to maintain his redshirt status.
