How he is only ranked at #321 on 247 Sports, and a consensus 3 star among recruiting sites, is beyond me. He possesses a unique blend of elite coverage skills and great run support talent. He’s a wicked hitter with great burst that provides him with high-end pursuit ability.
Owusu-Koramoah has good pass rush technique that he applies with great speed. He dominates at every position he plays at the high-school level. He also shows great jumping ability and solid ball skills that leads to big plays in pass coverage.

Due to his skill set, Owusu-Koramoah would be a perfect candidate to play Rover in Elko’s scheme. Being able to provide good run support as well as defend the backfield is a must for that position. If he continues to grow, he will likely end up an athletic Buck linebacker.
Although Notre Dame is getting in on him very late in the process, scrambling to build a relationship with Jeremiah won’t be an issue. Defensive Coordinator, Mike Elko, and Linebackers Coach, Clark Lea, Have been recruiting the #321 overall recruit since their time at Wake Forest.
