Linebacker Mark Iheanachor of Narbonne and defensive end Chinedu Onyeagoro of King/Drew commit to Southern Methodist University.

All-City linebacker Mark Iheanachor of Narbonne said he has known All-City defensive end Chinedu Onyeagoro of King/Drew since they were 7. Both have Nigerian parents. Iheanachor played youth football while Onyeagoro focused on basketball. Onyeagoro finally started playing football in 2022 and recorded 40 sacks over two high school seasons. On Monday, Iheanachor announced he had committed to Southern Methodist, then went to King/Drew to watch Onyeagoro make his commitment to SMU.

His father was concerned about academics. In the end, Onyeagoro told his mother, 'Mom, I think I can do this.' The rest is history. King/Drew coach Joe Torres has only had a varsity program since 2022, and Onyeagoro's development has made him the program's top player since its debut.
