Evaluating Onoh

“Chimdy is a tremendous young man. His love for the game and the want to learn is what sets him apart,” said Tom Abel, Dundalk head coach via press release. “The best way I can describe him is as a worker. Chimdy is clearly a great football player but his ability to balance school, a job and sport is impressive.
“On the field, Chimdy’s strengths include his physicality, length/range, explosiveness and the ability to bend. Chimdy will arrive at Penn State eager to grow and learn. He is excited to be a part of such a great program and contribute in any way he can.”
