Just got done watching The Game, again.  While watching Donovan's long run (which one?  the 85 yarder) I was reminded of Sam and Al's comment that Olu got them in the right blocking assignment when he saw how the Nuts were aligned.  Actually, I don't remember if it was the 75 or 85 yard run (or both) but Sam confirmed Al's point that Olu was in fact instrumental in that run breaking for a touchdown.

Well-deserved indeed.

Extremely well deserved! I'm so confused by the CBS Sports All America team which doesn't even list Olu on first or second team 🤔 I think they're one of the media selectors, right?

We knew we were getting a Rimington finalist from last season, but Olu still managed to surpass expectations. What a get.

Him and Zinter are about as good a 1-2 punch you’ll find in the interior (Keegan’s a player as well.) Both should be long time starters at the next level. Ruiz and Onwenu were both studs and are currently starting in the NFL and for the foreseeable future, but Olu and Zinter have probably been even better.

Another feather in the cap of JH, Sherrone Moore, and the Michigan football program.  Attracting, further developing, and showcasing another "leader and best"!  Congrats to Olu and thanks for all your sacrifice.  Go Blue!
