With the State College Nike Camp spectators mentioning the name Chinedu Nwagwu as one of the top performers, it was a wonder as to why his name did not appear on radars before now. However, with a strong showing, Nwagwu could become a name to remember.
“I am sad I did not do it earlier,” says the 6-foot-3, 191 pounder of his Nike Camp experience. With a 4.5 second time in the 40, Nwagwu was already tired for the vertical jump. “I had a 36.0 vertical jump because my legs were so weak.”
With good numbers such as these, certainly schools must be all over the receiver.
“Pretty much nobody right now. I am open to all the area schools like Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Maryland, but nobody is sending much.”
And why exactly is that?
“This is my first year of playing. I was always a basketball guy, and my coach thought I could play football, so I tried out and wowed them. Now (after the Nike Camp), I am more marketable in football.”
