A Nigerian prince, born in Brooklyn and raised on Staten Island, travels to Bloomington and becomes the greatest defender in the history of Indiana University football. No, this isn’t our pitch for the Coming to America sequel… it’s the incredible real-life story of Adewale Ogunleye. And like any hero’s journey, it isn’t all rose petals and royal baths. “Wale” battled homesickness, saw his beloved mentor Coach Mallory fired, and after foregoing the NFL Draft, suffered a devastating knee-injury his senior year. Yet these trials and tribulations served only to make him stronger. Our leading man sallied forth to become a Pro Bowl sack master with the Miami Dolphins, then signed a record-breaking contract with the Chicago Bears on his way to playing in the Super Bowl. Adewale Ogunleye is truly the stuff of Hoosier legend.
