David Oku still playing

[IknoxvolsI]

I had almost forgot about this guy. Remembered a lot of hype surrounding him and others in his recruiting class.

Learned a tremendous amount tonight. There are football leagues in Europe and China.

This is a short Q&A with him.

He is playing in Europe and that chance developed from a Facebook email.

Additionally, he was the #1 ranked All Purpose Back and 97 over-all recruit. Played two years here, sat out one year and played two at Ark St. Led UT in returns.

Eight years later he's still balling.

Good for him. I haven't thought of him in ages.

I loved when the stadium would chant his name before kickoffs.

I remember he was at UT with Bryce Brown while Lame was coaching..He and Brown were being heralded as maybe the best RB tandem in UT history..Guess we all know how that turned out...

I couldn't help laugh when he basically said he can play every position on the field.

I mean he's basically playing against a pee wee team. 😂

But he's super humble about traveling the world. That's rock solid .

I see him becoming a coach one day.

Good for him.

Unique thing is he compared the other leages to Division II football. That means he's tearing it up.

Why'd he leave again?

I loved when the stadium would chant his name before kickoffs.

The crowd would also year NUKE... For Nukeesee which results in a 2 yard return.. Maybe the most overhyped bust in the past decade

Why'd he leave again?

I looked. Only thing I came across was depth chart at RB.

I think he gained too much weight and lost some speed. Got too bulked up for his stature...

Pretty sure he's on the commercial for the TV service, can't recall the brand name.

Edit: SlingTV maybe ??
