George Bush High School (Richmond, Texas) defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah got some advice from another Bush alum before making his decision to commit to Oklahoma State last week.

Ogbah told The Oklahoman he called former OSU offensive lineman and current Seattle Seahawk Russell Okung three days before making his college choice.

“He said it was a good school, and they’ll treat you real good,” Ogbah said. “He said it’s a great football program and that they have a good academic program, too.”

Ogbah, who said he plans to study business and marketing, said he has never been to Stillwater but plans to attend a game at some point this season.

“It’s hard right now with football season going on,” Ogbah said.
