Marcus Ogbogu brings freshman juice and downhill size to Howard’s linebacker room
Marcus Ogbogu is a 2026 freshman linebacker at Howard listed at 6-3, 210, and the early read is clear: he has the frame to grow into a disruptive, multi-down defender[2][11]. Howard’s roster and ESPN listings show him as a newcomer, so the real value is projection—length, tackling range, and a build that fits an aggressive defense rather than pure box-score production so far[2][12]. He’s the kind of player coaches can mold, especially if he keeps adding strength and learning the college game fast[2][9].
