Ify Obidegwu a top performer at Under Armour All-America
Ify Obidegwu made the most plays of any defensive back on Team Ice over the course of the week at Under Armour. We’d be hard-pressed to find more than a handful of occasions where the future Oregon Duck gave up completions all week. Even better, Obidegwu got better as the week wore on as he became increasingly acclimated to the setting. At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds with arms that measure over 34 inches, Obidegwu has elite length for the position and it shows. He consistently dislodged passes at the catch point, using his reach and physicality to body pass catchers. We were also pleasantly surprised with his functional athleticism and footwork, as the Baltimore native was rarely out of position and consistently in-phase. Obidegwu put an exclamation point on a great week with a pick-six in Wednesday’s game.
