Early years

Orakpo was born on July 31, 1986, in Houston, Texas to parents Gloria and Arthur Orakpo, who are immigrants from Nigeria.[1] He has two younger siblings, Jennifer and Michael.[2] Orakpo played high school football at Lamar High School in Houston, Texas.[3] He played defensive end and tight end and was a two-time First-team all-district selection for the Texans football team. In addition, he played basketball from his freshman to junior years.[1]

College career

Orakpo as a Texas Longhorn.

Orakpo attended the University of Texas, where he played for coach Mack Brown's Texas Longhorns football team from 2004 to 2008.[4] He was redshirted as a freshman in 2004, but in 2005 he played in all 13 games and started in one. He made an immediate impact for the Longhorns, helping them finish 10th in the nation at defense, recording 27 tackles, a half sack, a forced fumble and recovered fumble. His play earned him Defensive Freshman of the Year and first-team Freshman All-America by The Sporting News.[citation needed] He helped the Longhorns obtain their fourth National Championship.[5]

As a sophomore in 2006, he played all 13 games, recording 26 tackles and 4.5 sacks and was named one of the Lowe's Most Improved Defensive Players.[6] As a junior in 2007, he played in nine games and missed four due to right knee injury suffered against Arkansas State. He was the Defensive MVP of the 2007 Holiday Bowl against Arizona State after recording six tackles and two sacks during the game.[7][8] He finished the season with 37 tackles and 5.5 sacks.[9]

As a senior in 2008, Orakpo recorded 40 tackles and 11.5 sacks and was the Associated Press Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.[10][11][12] He also was the winner of the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, given to the best defensive player,[13] the Ted Hendricks Award, given to the top defensive end,[14] The Bill Willis Trophy given to the top collegiate defensive lineman, and the Lombardi Award, given to the best lineman or linebacker.[15] He was recognized as a unanimous first-team All-American, after receiving first-team honors from the Associated Press,[16] American Football Coaches Association,[17] Football Writers Association of America,[18] The Sporting News,[19] and the Walter Camp Football Foundation.[20] He was the first Texas Longhorn defensive end to earn All-American honors since Tony Brackens in 1995.[21]

In his college career, Orakpo recorded 132 tackles, 22 sacks, 38 tackles for loss, 62 pressures, six passes broken up, six forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery.[citation needed]

Professional career

Orakpo attended the NFL Combine with much anticipation due to his well-known reputation as a "workout warrior".[22] His 31 reps in the bench press ranked second among all defensive ends and seventh best among all defensive linemen. His 39.5-inch vertical jump was second for all defensive lineman, and he showed his speed and acceleration while recording a 4.63 40-yard dash time.[23] At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Orakpo was projected to be a first round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked the best defensive end/outside linebacker prospect in the draft by NFL analyst Bucky Brooks, was ranked the second best defensive end by DraftScout.com, and was ranked the second best outside linebacker in the draft by NFL analyst Mike Mayock.[24][25]

"Buyer beware, He's boom or bust. I don't know if he's DeMarcus Ware or Vernon Gholston. I've seen him have some really good games, and I've seen what I considered to be Brandon Pettigrew tearing him apart. The point is, I don't see it all the time from Orakpo, which concerns me."[26]
