About Olumide
Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
A muscle hamster of a rising junior RB out of 6A Park of Cottage Grove, Olumide caught and held PRZMN’s attention as a new-to-the-radar Big School playmaker with some serious tools at his disposal. With a powerful, noticeably-muscular build on a low center of gravity type of runner, Aluko is a tough 1v1 tackling assignment leverage and power-wise, but he proved in Saturday’s non-padded setting that he doesn’t rely solely on power to make things happen with the ball in his hand. After popping off a 4.83 40 and 4.61 shuttle, Aluko was very impressive in drill work, 1v1 box drills vs. LBs, and 1v1 pass-catching scenarios alike, with impressive acceleration and power out of his cuts and the ability to drop his hips and shut down without any wasted movement or effort on his end. I think his build and game, along with limited varsity experience from 2025, project well to prep football production, and we’ll be eagerly watching Park of Cottage Grove’s 2028 RB Aluko this upcoming fall for some updated tape.
