high-upside edge talent with power, burst, and room to grow
Okundaye arrives as a 6-2, 243-pound redshirt freshman with three-star pedigree and a nasty edge profile: at Tompkins High School, he posted 117 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, and two forced fumbles over three varsity seasons. Arizona viewed him as a developmental defensive lineman/edge who can win with shifty first-step quickness and real pop through contact, not just athletic hype. He’s the kind of player who can fit a team that values disruptive, high-motor front-seven pieces with upside—especially if you want a tough, violent edge setter who can grow into more snaps.
