Oladapo (6’2/216) arrived on campus as a preferred walk-on cornerback and molded himself into the rocked-up, versatile playmaker of today after six years at academies of higher learning. He barely saw game action during his first three years on campus, but in 2021 he ran with his opportunity by recording 68 tackles, 6.0 TFL and 10 PBU to go with 20 stops. Oladapo would post 154 tackles with 16 PBU over the next two seasons, while earning the fifth-highest PFF defensive grade in the nation and number-one run defense grade among all Power Five back line contemporaries in 2023. Oladapo is unusually shifty for his build and can adequately patrol his half of the side of the field in deep coverage. A captain who directs traffic and is a fierce run supporter, Oladapo can be clunky in his transitions and is vulnerable if asked to carry receivers downfield. However, he has an NFL caliber physical profile and could eventually be deployed as a run-down box safety.
