Texas defensive lineman Moro Ojomo had his long-awaited breakthrough as a fifth-year senior. Now, he's beginning a new journey with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, right, ranting about his teammates in a public setting rankled Steve Sarkisian.A native Nigerian who moved to the United States when he was 7, Ojomo breezed through kindergarten at the age of 3, graduated from Katy at 16 and enrolled at Texas not long after.
“Getting drafted by such an organization with such a rich history, I couldn’t have come to a better spot,” said Ojomo, who won’t turn 22 until August 15. “When I was a young child I remember really loving Reggie White. Jerome Brown, Brian Dawkins were other guys I was really fond of. Randall Cunningham. So the Eagles, in hindsight, I’ve always thought they were a really cool organization, a really cool team.
Ojomo graduated from Texas with a degree in business finance and made the Academic All-Big 12 first team in each of his final four seasons. Eventually, whenever he decides to put the cleats away for good, Ojomo wants to get into the field of corporate law. Ojomo might not bud into an All-Pro, but those who saw him come into his own at Texas can’t see the 6-foot-3, 284-pound defensive lineman flaming out within a couple years, either.
