Ufomba Kamalu (born November 2, 1992)[1] is a Nigerian-American former professional football defensive end. He played college football at the University of Miami and signed with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2016. He won a Super Bowl ring with the 2018 New England Patriots.[1]

Early life

After being born in California, Kamalu spent the first 13 years of his life in Aba, Nigeria with his siblings, while his parents stayed back home. He returned to the United States for high school, but many concepts in America were completely foreign to him. It has been reported that by his father's request he began playing football his freshman year of high school.[2]

College career

Kamalu went to Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas for junior college. He then attended college at University of Miami in Florida, playing football, where he totaled 48 tackles (11.5 for a loss of yardage), 8.0 sacks, one forced fumble and fumble recovery, and an interception which he returned for 46 yards over his 3-year collegiate career.[3][4] Kamalu was voted Miami's defensive player of the year during his senior year in 2015[5] After 4 years of college with Butler CC and Miami combined, he declared for the 2016 NFL draft where he went undrafted.

On September 1, 2018, Kamalu was waived by the Texans.[14]

The woman showed visible signs of injury. The young lady tried to get justice but Ufomba Kamalu, along with his attorney Benjamin Herbst (of The Herbst Firm in Baltimore) allegedly silenced her. Benjamin Herbst allegedly called the young lady in question to bail Ufomba Kamalu out of jail, but she was afraid and did not want to do so. So attorney Benjamin Herbst found another person to allegedly sign for his bail. The young lady reported Benjamin Herbst to the Maryland Bar.[27] He was suspended by the NFL for the remainder of the 2020 NFL regular season and postseason on December 11, 2020,[28] and reinstated from suspension on February 8, 2021.[29]
