Adepojou Adebawore a top performer at Under Armour All-American Game

Adepoju Adebawore showed why he’s considered to be the most physically gifted EDGE prospect in the 2023 cycle by On3. The Kansas City native was utterly dominant off the edge in the first half of Tuesday’s game. Adebawore has an elite combination of extreme length, first-step quickness and closing speed. He teed off on the Team Phantom right tackles, making a number of plays behind the line. We saw the same skill set on display throughout the week. Adebawore consistently gave his Team Speed offensive line teammates issues in 1-on-1’s. He’s already a great player who can win with speed or power – a scary thought considering he’s just scratching the surface up his immense potential.

Adepoju Adebawore a Top Performer at Under Armour Future 50

Adepoju Adebawore made a strong case as the twitchiest athlete at Future 50 along with Zachariah Branch. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder has a rare combination of athleticism and length, manifesting in a big-time mismatch off the edge. Adebawore impressed from the jump, flying through drills and giving offensive linemen issues in 1-on-1’s. He also showed some highly encouraging curvilinear movement and ability to bend the edge for such an explosive athlete. At the end of the morning session, we clocked Adebawore in the 6.90 second range in the 3-cone drill. That’s an elite mark for a NFL EDGE prospect, let alone a rising senior in high school. The new Oklahoma pledge validated the belief that he’s one of the more physically-gifted EDGE prospects in the 2023 cycle.

Adepoju Adebawore earns 5th star from On3

Charles Power•

Oklahoma EDGE Adepoju Adebawore commit (No. 7) adds his 5th star and vaults into the top 10 of the On300. The North Kansas City pass rusher is one of the twitchiest defenders in the cycle at over 6-foot-4, 225 pounds with a wing-span over 7-feet. Adebawore has turned in multiple strong showings on the camp circuit, most recently at Under Armour Future 50 to supplement his strong junior video. His movement skills and frame make for a unique, high upside EDGE prospect.
