Although Ojulari isn’t exactly the position that Michigan State usually excels with when recruiting Georgia players, he is one of the top prospects in the 2018 class and a name to keep an eye on. He’s ranked the No. 170 overall recruit and 10th-best weak-side defensive end, according to 247Sports.
Michigan State is desperate to add defensive line depth in the coming classes, especially with all that’s been going on recently. Following the 2015 season, the Spartans lost four main pieces and a few other role players. After the 2016 season, they will be looking to replace Malik McDowell, Kevin Williams and Auston Robertson.
Could Ojulari be the gem of the Spartans’ 2018 class? It’s too early to tell what the interest level is, but the Spartans could make up some ground with a visit. The athletic 6-foot-4, 230-pound end from Georgia would be a perfect addition to the line.
