This guy has to be a high priority. We desperately need some big-time weak-side pass rusher types. There will be an absolute ton of early PT available.

If A.O. hasn't visited Tennessee yet, then the young gentleman can look forward to a great experience in his life.

There was a video of him posted on Bleacher report after he received the Bama offer. He was like a kid in total shock. I seen it myself. It's since been taken down for whatever reasons but he was just standing there in a glare with a look of shock on his face.

Nothing out of context. He was really shocked. I think he had it taken down for the very reasons you said. He didn't want people thinking any school like Bama was too good or big for him. That's what I think happened Glitch. Thanks buddy.

So he never said he was in shock? And you based his 'shock' due to a perceived look on his face?

He's distracted for now but I don't know how long the diversion will last.

He mentions Tennessee first in this article and that he has a great relationship with Coach Hoke. He says the Tennessee coaches call every day and that they told him that he is their #1 DL target for this class. I would expect to see his brother BJ offered soon. He is a 2020 DE that picked up a ton of offers this week from several of the schools recruiting Azeez.

I bet Emerson, Litaker and Lawless are salty.

DE is our biggest need, this recruiting class, imo. He has a nice offer list. Go get him Hoke and Butch

We've got at least 8 at the position with no seniors. If the staff views Emerson as a true DE, I wouldn't be surprised for him to be the only take.

That's great, but no production from any of them. Maybe Kongbo or Phillips could of produced, but we had to beef 'em up and try them at DT, with all the injuries. Of course, backing up Barnett and Vereen made playing time almost impossible. Maybe, I'm spoiled because of DB. I think we need instant impact DEs. I hope Taylor lives up to the hype, until then, I hope we get at least 2 or 3 more, this class

I am much more concerned about DT this recruiting year than DE. If we get the instate players we want.need, we will be in very good shape on the DL.

Don't confuse quantity with quality. DE is undoubtebly the biggest need in this class (along with CB). They desperately need to land a couple of impact guys there.

They should have done a much better job of rotating in guys at Vereen's position last year. He was good at times but also pretty bad at times. His containment was downright awful in several games. To be honest the development at DE has been questionable at best IMO. I have confidence that Hoke will do a much better job there and also recruit much better.

He was invited to the Rivals100 5* Challenge in Indianapolis. He is supposedly going to get a major bump in the rankings.

" Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, Georgia, South Carolina, Notre Dame and NC State have been hitting me up constantly. They are on me hard," he said. " They are telling me how I can come in and make an impact and how they need pass rushers and how their guys are graduating and there are opportunities open."

Ojulari is hoping this summer will enlighten him further as he plans to visit each of the aforementioned schools. Although a plan is in motion to hit up each of the programs, he is still working on the dates for those trips.

"June 17 I am going to Tennessee, June 2nd probably going Georgia for a camp," he said. "Florida I am going to go sometime in June. I am trying to get to Notre Dame for the first time maybe around June 23rd."

The South's 12th ranked defensive end will hope to cut down his list soon after these visits. Although he has not visited some of these schools previously, he does have an idea on who could make the list in a few months.

"Maybe Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and Notre Dame," would make the cut, according to Ojulari. However, this list is not even close to be final. The Marietta playmaker tells Scout that these are the schools that currently have his attention, but that could change. Why have these schools generated a bit more buzz?

Florida: "All the coaches are hitting me up, [defensive line] coach [Chris] Rumph, coach Mac [Gators head coach Jim McElwain], the whole coaching staff is hitting me up. The Director of Player Personnel [Drew Hughes], all of the coaches. Their linebackers coach [Tim Skipper], everybody. It makes me feel like a top priority there," he explained. "Coach Rumph tells me I'm the number one guy and I need to get there for a visit. Coach Mac said they were at a coaches' meeting and my name kept popping up and I am a big priority for them."

Tennessee: "They have been recruiting me hard too. They have made me a priority too. With [Derek] Barnett gone they do not have the premier defensive end for their team right now. Their spots are open and you can come in as a freshman and get an opportunity," stated Ojulari. "I have been there for a spring game and they have a great atmosphere, great coaches. They are telling me the truth. [Defensive line] coach [Brady] Hoke, I feel like I can develop a great relationship with him on and off the field. They also have good facilities and all that. It was a good place."

Georgia: "I think the coaching staff is making movement. [UGA Head] coach Kirby [Smart] told me that I am also a big priority for them and that they are trying to keep in the state," he said about the in-state program. "They are trying the hardest to keep me here. They love how I pass rush too and they said I can fit in as an outside linebacker too. Also they talked about how Lorenzo [Carter] and others are leaving after this year for the NFL and how those spots are going to be open."

Notre Dame: "They are recruiting me hard. They are hitting me up everyday. The running backs coach there sending me inspirational quotes on twitter. I really have a good relationship I just need to get up on that visit," said Ojulari. "I just want to see if this is a place I can actually fit perfectly and develop and play earlier. I know they are academic school already and I know there are opportunities to graduate in three years and get your degree."

When the time comes for Ojulari to cut his list or even make his decision, he plans to look at a few crucial factors.

"Where I can go and get a degree and where I fit," he stated. "I want to make sure it feels like home and I am comfortable around there for the next four years."
Ojulari plans to study either architecture or business in college.
