The Story of Ruke: Orhorhoro's star is rising after global travels, but he's no LeBron

CLEMSON – Ruke Orhorhoro was born in Nigeria, spent a little less than a decade in England, and moved to Michigan when he was 9. When he was 17, he left Michigan for a little place that sits in the foothills of South Carolina called Clemson. He is well-traveled, well-spoken, and he wants you to know he is the best basketball player on his team.

Orhorhoro is one of the Tigers’ best defensive tackles, and his talents have already drawn the interest of NFL scouts. He enters this week’s game against Louisiana Tech with 52 career tackles (four sacks) over 29 career games.
