Obwaya is an all-state long jumper who could emerge as the Bengals’ bellcow during his junior season. He’s been an explosive camp performer throughout the summer, and combined with his electric JV tape, I have high hopes for what he can accomplish this fall. He’s fast, but he’s quicker than he is fast, both evident on his film and on his impressive 4.18 pro-agility time he scored at the UWRF Mega Camp. His athleticism is encouraging, and Obwaya could prove to be a legit varsity ball carrier in a couple of weeks.
