After an impressive junior campaign, Oklahoma State defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah has declared for the NFL Draft.
Another top-end junior has declared for the 2016 NFL Draft. On Wednesday, Oklahoma State Cowboys defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah officially declared for the draft.
Ogbah was the Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the Big-12 Conference in 2015. He finished the season with an impressive 13 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss, as the Cowboys put together a great season on the field. He officially released a statement thanking the Oklahoma State program for his time in Stillwater.

Most projections have Ogbah as a first-round pick in the draft, with some having him as high as a top-10 player on some boards. Ogbah is one of the best in the nation at getting after the quarterback and will be in high demand from a team that is picking high in the draft.
With a great chance to go high in the draft, it makes all the sense in the world for Ogbah to forgo his senior season for the bright lights of the NFL. He’s a little bit on the smaller side for a defensive end and could very well play a little bit with his hand off the line in the NFL, depending on where he is drafted.
Wherever he ends up, his job is going to be to get after the quarterback.
