Jaguars safety Ayo Oyelola took a much different path to the NFL

As the Jacksonville Jaguars began training camp for the 2022 NFL season earlier this week, there are plenty of new faces within the organization. One new addition to the roster this year who Jaguars fans may not be familiar with is safety Ayo Oyelola.

Originally hailing from Dagenham, a town in east London, England, Oyelola’s path to the NFL is much different than most players in the league.

The 23-year-old Oyelola, who played college football at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, was allocated to the Jaguars in May through the International Player Pathway program.
