Things aren’t quite back to normal for Michigan defensive lineman David Ojabo, but being quarantined in a North campus dorm for a short time longer knowing he will be reunited with his teammates and back to practice soon has made everything worthwhile.
Ojabo’s story has been well-documented in recent days. He is Nigerian-born, but moved with his family to Scotland in 2007. When on-campus activities were suspended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March just as spring football practice was about to begin, Ojabo flew home thinking he’d be there a short time. The weeks became months and on July 14 he shared a message on Twitter that he was stuck in Scotland, unable to return to Ann Arbor because of an international travel ban.
