Quote: "I felt loved the minute I met the team," Omopariola said. "The coaches and players had a family like bond which I found very unique."
Evaluation: Omopariola was a late name to the Syracuse recruiting cycle. The Orange saw him at an all star game in late November and lead recruiter Mike Johnson quickly worked to set up a visit. The official happened the weekend before National Signing Day and sealed the deal in his recruitment.
Omopariola is an intriguing prospect. He is from Nigeria and came to the United States in 2022, so he is relative new to the game. Still, his frame at 6-4, 250 pounds with natural elite athleticism gives him an extremely high ceiling. He could stay around his current weight with adding perhaps 10-15 more pounds and play at defensive end. Another option is to add 30-40 pounds and slide inside to tackle. He has the frame for both.
Once he arrives, Omopariola needs to learn the playbook and work on fundamentals as he is still on the raw side. If he develops, he has the potential to be a huge steal for the Orange.
