Wednesday marks five years from the day Fasusi and his family arrived in the United States from Ondo State, Nigeria, eventually landing in Lewisville, roughly 40 minutes north of Dallas. Fasusi's football journey began as a freshman at Lewisville High. The next fall, the Dallas Morning News named him its 6-6A Offensive Newcomer of the Year after his breakout sophomore season in 2022. Soon, Power 4 programs were circling the towering tackle with elite athleticism and raw potential still only three years into his football career.
In-state ties tugged heavily on Fasusi, but in the final weeks of his recruitment, Oklahoma -- situated only 165 miles from home -- separated itself from the pack.
