Towering 6-4 DL Transfer Building Momentum as Marshall's Redshirt Senior Reserve
Jude Okolo, a 6-4, 290-pound redshirt senior defensive lineman, transferred to Marshall in 2024 and flashed upside in 10 games with 11 tackles and 2.5 TFLs, peaking at 5 tackles and 1.5 TFLs vs. ULM—his physical tools and consistent effort make him a disruptive force off the bench.[1][6] Coming from Illinois State (9 games, 2022) and FAU (6 games, 2023), he's a battle-tested journeyman with room to explode as a starter; ideal for teams needing intense, high-motor depth on the D-line without the prima donna vibe.[1][2][6]
