  Draft Scout by Conference









  On top of learning a new system under New Mexico State football coach Jerry Kill and defensive coordinator Nate Dreiling, Chris Ojoh is also learning names as the Aggies coaching staff has continued to add players since spring practice. Ojoh was among the best players on the Aggies roster last year and the best defensive player. Following a year that Ojoh led the Aggies with six sacks, 16 tackles for loss and three forces fumbles and was second with 72 tackles, he entered the transfer portal shortly after the season and the announced coaching change, but ultimately decided to return. "I really just wanted to see New Mexico State headed in the right direction," Ojoh said. "I'm a big person into feeling like home and good energy. When Coach Kill and I talked, it felt like home. They had a vision and had a plan and I wanted to follow through with it."

Ojoh is one of at least 12 linebackers learning Dreiling's 4-2-5 scheme, where he has moved from out outside linebacker last year, to the inside where he pairs with fellow senior returning starter Trevor Brohard. "When I was at Eastern Washington, I played inside at the (weakside linebacker) and I loved it there," Ojoh said. "I look at it more as an opportunity to be on the field and show my versatility. I like to look at myself as an athlete, and now there is less space to work with and not a lot of open field tackles and one-on-one plays. There is less room for error." - Las Cruces Sun News
