Texas Didn’t Offer Emmanuel Ogbah Even Though He Wanted to Go There

Oopsie.

Emmanuel Ogbah would look might nice lined up in front of Malik Jefferson right now down in Austin. Somebody forgot to hit the “offer scholarship” button though. Ogbah would also fill the void of NFL talent at Texas this year.

“I was a pretty big (Longhorn) fan,” Ogbah (who is from Houston) told the O’Colly which pointed out he never got the offer. “I went to a couple of games. I went to a game when they played Oklahoma State.”

“It’s kind of like a grudge thing when I play Texas,” Ogbah said.

To be fair, nobody recruited Ogbah. Here’s a look at all of his offers.

Probably because he looked like this.

Still, that was a coup by Oklahoma State.

“We like the players we have here,” said Mike Gundy on Monday. “Sometimes we take players that other people don’t think are up to par to play at this level for whatever reason. But I’m a firm believer in our system and what we do here. I believe we make players better than they really are and it helps in the long run and it creates a great chemistry for our group.”
