Towering DL Transfer Bringing Size and Sack Potential to NCCU Eagles
At 6-5, 240 lbs, Chidi Okonya stands out as a physically imposing defensive lineman who transferred to North Carolina Central as a redshirt junior in 2019, delivering 11 tackles (8 solo) and 1.5 sacks across 10 games—showcasing his pass-rush upside after limited reserve action at Duke (3 tackles in 8 games, 2018). His elite frame and graduate transfer experience make him a differentiator for run-stopping intensity on FCS lines; ideal for teams needing a developmental edge rusher with Power 5 pedigree to disrupt plays.
