In the fifth round of April’s 2023 NFL Draft, Seattle selected Michigan center Olu Oluwatimi with the 154th overall pick. The road to reaching the NFL has featured three stops at Division 1 programs – each a stepping stone in their own right. But the Upper Marlboro, Maryland native has been readjusting to change since his high school days. Oluwatimi’s ability to adjust on-the-fly both on and off the field has aided to his success and made him mature quickly.
Oluwatimi’s introduction to high school consisted of commuting from the Prince George’s County suburb to Archbishop Carroll High in Washington, following the footsteps of his brother and former University of Maryland defensive lineman Oluwaseun.
