A hard-working defender who gives great effort, Olajubutu is a good fit in a one-gap system and should be a demon on special teams.


Biography:

Three-year starter awarded All-Conference honors the past two seasons. Tackling numbers were 115/10/2.5 as a senior after a career-high 118/14.5/4.5

Pos:

Tough, instinctive linebacker who makes plays sideline-to-sideline. Diagnoses the action, explodes up the field and chases hard to get involved. Possesses a burst of speed, plays with good overall quickness and flashes on the scene. Gets depth on drops, displays solid footwork in all directions and nicely scrapes in the box.

Neg:

Does not consistently take proper angles to the action. Short, and blocked by opposing running backs. Mismatched against tight ends in coverage.
