Antoni Ogumoro

Antoni Ogumoro chose the Vols in May, and he has officially put pen to paper and is set for his next chapter on Rocky Top as a member of the 2025 recruiting class.

“The coaches, the players, just me hanging out with the players. Max (Anderson) and those boys, the class of 24 did a good job with me,” Ogumoro told Volquest in May prior to revealing his commitment. “It just felt like home for real when I was there. They didn’t try to beat around the bush. They kept it real and honest with me. We just hung out. It felt like we were teammates ever since for real. And the coaches I clicked with them ever since the beginning in November when they started recruiting me. Especially coach Elarbee, coach Heup, coach KP. They kept it real ever since.”

He really clicked with offensive line coach Glen Elarbee as both have similar demeanors.

“He is a chill dude,” Ogumoro said at the time. “He is very straight up and honest. The way he coaches too, I’ve seen how he coaches and he is a chill guy. He keeps it straight forward. He doesn’t really put his players down. If someone messes up, he just tells them hey you need to fix this. A lot of his players are coachable. I’ve seen that so it makes his job easier and the way he coaches, he is just a chill dude.”

The Scout on Ogumoro

“The first thing that sticks out is his footwork,”Elgin Coach Chalmer Wyatt told Volquest of Ogumoro’s game in May. “He is light on his feet for his frame. He has a really good punch and after being out with him in spring ball for the last week now, his physicality is better than we thought. It has been a really good spring with him. He is super smart, super sharp, and the matter of fact is he has only been playing the game of football for just a little bit,” Wyatt added. “He is raw, but at the same time he is really coachable and wants to be coached. When you have that quality about you, you don’t have to worry about him picking up terminology, schemes and coaching things that are all brand new. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but he has been really good here so far.”
