A high school player with seven games of football experience already has 25 scholarship offers from big-time programs, but don't rule out Dartmouth and the Ivies. From a Land Of 10 story:David Ojabo, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound defensive lineman, first put on shoulder pads last August. Offer No. 1 arrived from Rutgers in late November. Since mid-February, the list of suitors has included Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Penn State and Tennessee. Considering the precedence he places on earning a high-level business degree, it’s important to note that Ivy League universities Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale also are in pursuit.
“For any Nigerian, education is very important,” Ojabo said. “We won’t get away with just being good at football. Academics will be a very big factor in my choice.”
