The No.23 defensive lineman in the On300 rankings spoke more on each program.

LSU

“LSU made the list because of the coaches,” Kanu said “They really have a big focus on the defensive line with Coach (Ed) Orgeron as the head coach.”

Ohio State

“Ohio State made the list because of Coach (Larry) Johnson and the people that are there,” Kanu said. “When I visited I was able to meet the whole team.”

Notre Dame

“Notre Dame is a great academic school and has great coaches,” Kanu said. “I always was a priority as soon as I received my offer. The university reminds me of my hometown in Germany.”

Oklahoma 

“Oklahoma also has been recruiting me hard since I went out there and worked out at a camp,” Kanu said. “They are having a great season and have a great culture with the best people around.”

Georgia 

“Georgia has had a great season so far, and has been dominating,” Kanu said. “They have been recruiting me hard since I received my offer.”

Kanu, who is the #1 ranked player from Europe, is currently committed to play in the 2022 All-American Bowl in San Antonio, TX.
