When Prince Tega Wanogho was first introduced to football during the summer before his first and only year at an American high school, he naturally gravitated to the one aspect of the sport to which he could relate.
He became the kicker.
A 6-5, 250-pound kicker with a size 14 foot.
“My soccer skills came into use,” he grinned.
Coaches quickly found other ways to put his talents to work. He was taught to play defensive end and tight end. Then, in college, he switched to offensive tackle. Now, just five years after staring blankly at the pile of football equipment he was expected to put on and requiring the help of the coaching staff at Edgewood Academy in Montgomery, Alabama, to tell him which pads went where, he’s about to enter the NFL.
