Antoni Kade Ogumoro Recaps Tennessee Visit
Tennessee hosted many high-caliber athletes at one of its annual junior day events. The event featured prospects from all over the country and commits who had already bought into the program. One of the players who did end up visiting was Elgin High School offensive lineman Antoni Kade Ogumoro. Following his visit, he took the time to recap it with Volunteer Country.
"My overall visit was amazing. My brother, who's on the spectrum, had an amazing time, and that says a lot. In some places, people won't take the time out of their day to help and accommodate my little brother, but it was different here in Tennessee." He was asked if he could speak to any commits, and he responded, "I talked to a lot of the boys there. I met up with some of the 2024 early grads who had already committed and was able to gel with them and pick their brains since they're older and have already been through the same process I'm going through right now."
He was then asked which coaches he had the chance to speak with, and he responded, "I was around Coach [Josh] Heupel and Coach [Glen] Elarbee pretty much for the whole visit. Same with Coach James and Coach KP. I got to build our relationships even more. It was amazing being able to see those guys in person and really sit down and talk not just about football but about life. The pitch to me was about family. Everyone there supports one another, and to me, that's what I feel you need—not only a winning program but an environment you'd want to stay in. Just the staff's vibes were amazing since I walked into the facility."
He was asked what caught his eye about Tennessee the most on his visit, and Antoni responded, "Most definitely them helping my brother. That meant a lot to me and my family. They could've been doing better things with their time during that visit to help others, but they chose to help me and my family." He believes he could fit into the Tennessee system fairly well, as he says, "The style of offense they run can really fit with the way I play as an offensive lineman. Pulling and being able to apply that footwork really sets the tone of the game." He also confirms that Tennessee is a top school and that he plans to visit again by saying, "100%. Tennessee is definitely a top school. I plan to visit again; I just have to figure some dates out."
