Oak Ridge senior defensive lineman Joseph Jonah-Ajonye wasn't playing football five years ago. Now he's a four-star national recruit.Joseph Jonah-Ajonye first stepped onto a football field four years ago. Now the Oak Ridge senior defensive lineman is a nationally-ranked four-star recruit with more than 31 offers to play in college.
“I really like the way I fit in both defenses,” said Jonah-Ajonye, who had nine tackles for loss last season. “I think Oklahoma wants to prioritize me more as a defensive tackle. Georgia wants to keep me more as a defensive end. I loved the culture at both schools, and I loved Athens and Norman. It’ll come down to whichever feels like home.”
“At first, it wasn’t easy acclimating to the weather, the culture, the people,” Jonah-Ajonye said of the transition from Nigeria to the States. “The food and the weather were the biggest changes. Nigeria is always hot. I hate the cold. The food, I had to get used to it. There’s a lot of cheese in American food and I don’t really like cheese.”
