We are “the caliber Dirty Harry‘s magnum” days away from the opener and, for that, I feel lucky!…punk.
#44, Udoka Ezeani, RS Junior, LB
Stats
Height: 6-2
Weight: 208
Last school: Missouri State/Butler CC
How’d he get to The Blueâ„¢?
Udoka transferred over from Butler CC, producer of a BSU star by the name of Demarcus Lawrence. His offer from the Broncos came just a week before signing day; plenty of time to choose us over his offers that included Oregon State and Texas Tech.
Nickname
“EZ Money”
Look-alike
Headband wearer, Kyler Murray. Ya know, it wasn’t until this moment that I realized how cool it would be to have a LB wear number one. Would be absolutely terrifying.
Career Highlights
In 9 games last year, he amassed 52 tackles, including 4.5 TFLs, a sack, and an interception. This earned him All-KJCCC 2nd team honors, and although I haven’t the faintest idea what that acronym stands for, I know it is a good thing.
We also have this from the Spring Game:
2024 Prospectus
He’s got a few more months to make a name for himself. I’ve seen him projected as the #3 WLB, but given the injury history at LB, I’d say it’s not unlikely at all we’ll see him this fall. Butler CC has produced some monsters for us, so I certainly would not count him out.
Is he on Twitter?
Completely made up fact
Aside from choosing Boise State over Oregon State simply because it’s better, Udoka also factored into his decision a lifelong irrational fear of beavers. He couldn’t help but wonder “They chop down trees with their teeth. What could they do to my legs??”
…and he’s not wrong to wonder 🫣
