meet the 2024 recruits!

Welcome!

first off I am so grateful to be a part of this family and culture. I knew Jax State was home from the moment I first set foot on campus last January, and it was also my first offer. I am Nigerian, born in Atlanta, Georgia. Some of my family’s athletic background includes my first cousin, Robert Nkemdiche, who was the #1 high school recruit of all time according to 247, and another first cousin, Noni Madueke, who is a current player on Chelsea FC. I have had four years of varsity experience in Georgia 7A football, with two starting years and two extended reps. I have been in two 7A state championships and won one, which was my school’s first in history. I played on the same team with Travis (we are actually really good friends; he’s like a big brother to me) and have numerous accolades, the most notable being all-state and county honors. Personally, I couldn’t care less about the ratings(on3,rivals,247) seeing mine makes me laugh because, according to 247, I’m the worst defensive lineman in the country. Which is hilarious if I had to honestly say, I was a top 5 D-line in my state this year and really top 35 in the country (sat down and compared film because I really couldn’t believe it). But other than that, I ended up with around 20 D1 offers, most notably being UCLA, UCF, NC State, and GT, and of course the best Jax State. I’m 6’4, 264 right now, benching 315, squatting 475, and power cleaning 275. Honestly, I really believe I have the talent and skill needed to come in and have an impact day 1 as long as I keep working from now until fall. And it’ll be even easier when I’m on campus having Coach Green as a coach and Chris Harris for a year as a mentor before he goes on to the draft. My goal in my JSU is to bring Jax State to its 1st C-USA championship and then continuing the standard for the next 3-4 years and maybe who knows break a couple records along the way. Lastly, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for supporting me on my commitment journey and being able to support me for the years to come. I’m beyond blessed to be part of this family, and I can’t wait to get to work once I’m in the ville! Also, follow my social media pages to help support and keep up with the journey links below thank you so much Gamecock family!

Welcome to Jax State. I don't think we have ever had a current player post here. Good luck in your career. You have a lot of good coaches that will help you along the way. Once you start classes, you will see that you're in good hands with a great faculty as well. Work hard on the field and in the classroom and you will have a great future no matter where your career takes you.

Very happy you chose Jax State! Welcome to the family. Please spread the site’s link to your family. Living in the Atlanta area, I know who Robert is and followed his recruiting fairly closely. Two things about Jax State you may not know yet.
1. The band is the best in the country…. No joke.
2. You will be part of the family forever and Kennesaw State sucks! (my daughter goes there and son went to Georgia Southern).

Again! Welcome!!! I hope to meet you one day, but we will definitely be cheering you on! Go Cocks!!!
