Oluwafemi

Oladejo

Oladejo had a lost 2025 rookie season, failing to generate a sack, and the hamstring injury likely sets him up as a reserve in 2026 under a new coaching staff. The 52nd overall pick in the 2025 draft will try to change the narrative in training camp.

The second-round pick will miss at least the next four weeks. Oladejo played 241 defensive snaps in the first six games of the season, failing to generate a sack and notching 13 combined tackles and two tackles for loss.

A career linebacker, Oladejo (6’3/261) started three games at middle linebacker in 2024 before moving to edge. What started out as a one-time emergency positional switch allowed him to become one of the most productive players on the Bruins’ defense, recording 4.5 sacks, 33 pressures and 14 tackles for loss. His best game last season was against a very strong Penn State team, where he posted an 80.2 pass rushing grade with seven tackles and four stops. Oladejo does play high at times and he lacks a defined plan when he rushes, which is a product of his position switch. Despite the inexperience at Edge, his off-ball instincts translate well to run defense as he’s adept at avoiding blockers to engage in pursuit. Though he’s still raw when it comes to playing the Edge, Oladejo’s 82 ⅛” wing span and non-stop motor make him an appealing developmental prospect.
