Texas defensive lineman Moro Ojomo has declared for the 2023 NFL Draft. The redshirt junior announced he would forgo his final season of eligibility and turn pro.
Ojomo has been a critical piece on Texas’ defensive line over the past four years. The former four-star from the 2018 class played 42 games for the Longhorns in his collegiate career.
2022 was Ojomo’s best season as a Texas Longhorn. He was named AP second-team All-Big 12, tallying three sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss. Ojomo helped Texas’ massive turnaround of the defensive side of the ball this year.
Ojomo joins running backs Bijan Robinson, Roschon Johnson, linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and defensive tackle Keondre Coburn to declare for the draft.
Texas will turn to some of the young talents that Steve Sarkisian and Bo Davis have brought in over the past two years to replace Ojomo on the defensive front.
