LB Kenny Orjioke chooses UCLA

Posted Dec 21, 2011
After traveling all over the world during his academic life, 16-year-old Lassiter senior Kene Orjioke may have found his home — at least for the next four to five years — after giving UCLA his commitment to play football. According to Orjioke, Arkansas, Boise State, Miami, North Carolina and Ole Miss recruited him to play outside linebacker. Of his 16-plus offers, fewer wanted him to play safety. Among those were Georgia Tech, N.C. State and UCLA. (Marietta Daily Journal)
