Multi-sport Star
Ojabo and his family moved to the United States when he was 15 from Scotland, and was born in Nigeria. Settling in for his prep school days in New Jersey, he excelled at soccer, basketball, and track and field before heading to the gridiron just a few years before heading to college. He participated in the New Jersey high school state track championship, where he ran a 10.93-second 100-meter dash, winning the title.
Michigan Man
Starting his Michigan career on the scout team, Ojabo eventually cracked the full squad as a sophomore in 2020. As a junior in 2021, he played in all 14 of their games at outside linebacker and registered 11 sacks and 12 tackles for loss as well as three passes defensed, five forced fumbles and a recovery.
Michigan Record Holder
Those five forced fumbles in 2021 are a Michigan program single-season record in the statistic. He was selected as a Second-Team All-American by the Associated Press and a consensus First-Team All-Big Ten that season.
Baltimore Ravens Career
Although their second-round pick in 2022, injuries halted his career with a torn Achilles that season, followed by a 2023 torn ACL. In 2024, Ojabo returned to play in 13 games, where he made two sacks, two tackles for loss, and six quarterback hits, along with nine pressures. In 2025, he played in 14 games, getting in on a 0.5 sack, hitting the quarterback twice, and registering three pressures.
