Uyi Igiehon Uyi Igiehon 6'4" | 225 lbs | EDGE Hillside | 2026 NJ is the next dominant edge rusher to emerge from Hillside. At 6’4”, 225 pounds, he has the length, burst, and motor that Power 4 programs covet. His recruitment has been heating up, and for good reason—his best football is still ahead of him.
What makes him so disruptive? It starts with his length. He uses his long arms to shed blockers, disrupt passing lanes, and create chaos in the backfield. His quick first step helps him gain ground fast, and once he gets past an offensive lineman, he knows how to impact the play. Whether it’s tipping passes or forcing hurried throws, he makes his presence felt.
His postseason surge helped put him on the radar, and now teams like Pitt, Syracuse, James Madison, and Temple have taken notice. He recently visited Syracuse on March 22nd, and with his teammate Travis Miles Travis Miles 6'4" | 185 lbs | DB Hillside | 2027 State NJ committing there, it’s a program to watch. As he continues to refine his technique and add to his frame, Igiehon is poised for a breakout year that could take his recruitment to another level.
