Rivals ranked him as the No. 46 player in the country and, shown by the graphic, the ninth-best receiver in the class. Composite rankings list Olugbode as the No. 102 player in the class.

Olugbode joins a very talented receiver room in Columbia for the 2025 season, headlined by transfer Kevin Coleman and returning juniors Marquis Johnson and Joshua Manning. Junior Daniel Blood also could see the field but, after that group, there some playing time may become available.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound pass-catcher from Naperville, Ill. spent his most recent high school playing days at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. In five games for IMG, he caught 20 passes for 293 yards and two touchdowns.
