Michael Ojemudia 2020 NFL Draft Profile
After starting at Iowa for the past two seasons, cornerback
Michael Ojemudia is taking his talents to the professional level. The 6’-1”, 200-pound defensive back enters the NFL Draft on the heels of what is probably his best season to date. During his 747 snaps on the field, Ojemudia allowed 37 receptions on 65 targets for 315 yards, one touchdown, three interceptions, and a 55.6 passer rating.
Ojemudia initially joined the college football ranks as a three-star recruit. Despite playing linebacker and tight end in high school, Iowa decided that Ojemudia’s future lied at cornerback. The positional change took a while to take, as he took a redshirt in 2015 and hardly saw the field in 2016. He earned a bigger role in 2017 as a redshirt sophomore but was largely terrible. Playing in 331 snaps, Ojemudia allowed 18 receptions on 27 targets for 231 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 118.0 passer rating.
Fortunately, something clicked as a redshirt junior. Ojemudia looked like a new man, allowing just 20 receptions on 42 targets for 309 yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions, and a 66.5 passer rating. He proved this wasn’t a one-year fluke by having an even better season as a redshirt senior.
