Izuchukwu Ozoh brings size, experience, and edge-setting toughness to NIU’s offensive line
Izuchukwu Ozoh is a 6-foot-4, 285-pound redshirt senior for Northern Illinois who started the first six games of the 2025 season at right tackle and appeared in 11 games, which tells you the staff trusted him in a real role[1][2]. He’s a converted tight end, so the appeal is athletic upside plus positional versatility — the kind of lineman who can still be developing technically while already carrying starter-level snaps[3]. If you want a tough, experienced depth piece with some swing-tackle flexibility, Ozoh looks like a solid fit; if you need a finished elite pass protector, he’s more of a developmental bet than a finished product[1][2].
