Early life

Ojukwu was born on January 9, 1999.^[1] He attended Boise High School and was a three-year starter at offensive tackle, earning two first-team all-conference honors as well as an all-state selection.^[2] As a junior, Ojukwu weighed only 185 pounds.^[3] Knowing that he needed to gain weight to have a chance in college, he ate large amounts of food and constantly worked out, gaining close to 100 pounds in nine months, with a diet that included a daily gallon of milk and sometimes whole pizzas.^[3] He was a three-star recruit and was ranked as the third-best prospect from Idaho, eventually committing to play college football for the Boise State Broncos.^[2]

College career

Ojukwu redshirted his first season at Boise State, 2017.^[2] He began the 2018 season as a backup before being put into action against Nevada on October 13, and he never missed a start in the games he played afterwards for the rest of his college career.^[2]^[3]^[4] Ojukwu started the final seven games of the year at right tackle and finished the season having appeared in all 12 games.^[2]^[5] He remained starting right tackle in 2019, starting 11 games and helping block for an offense that was 14th-nationally in scoring.^[2]^[4] Ojukwu switched to being a left tackle in 2020 and was named second-team All-Mountain West Conference (MWC) while starting all seven games.^[2]^[4] In 2021, he started 12 games and earned first-team All-MWC honors while allowing four sacks and committing only one penalty.^[2]^[6]

In his final season, 2022, Ojukwu was the only Boise State player to start all 14 games on offense and allowed no sacks while committing just two penalties.^[2]^[6] He finished his stint with the Broncos having played close to 1,900 snaps, on which he allowed just 11 sacks, additionally allowing just eight quarterback hits in his final three seasons.^[2] He was invited to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and the East–West Shrine Bowl at the conclusion of his college career.^[2]
