For the better part of three seasons now, Penn State has put Amani Oruwariye out at cornerback and allowed him to do his thing on the field. Oruwariye has rewarded the faith of the Nittany Lion coaching staff with several interceptions and tackles.
At 6-foot-1 and 201 pounds, Oruwariye has decent size for his position, but makes up for any deficiencies by showcasing incredible ball-hawking skills. He defended seven passes last year for Penn State in 11 games, a number already surpassed this season.
Houston signed Johnathan Joseph in free agency and added both Tyrann Mathieu and Aaron Colvin from Arizona and Jacksonville, but with a talent like Oruwariye to groom, Romeo Crennel can be excited. The Texans have drafted Deshaun Watson, Keke Coutee, Will Fuller and Martinas Rankin in recent years, so it is time to focus in on improving the defense.
