Jeffrey Okudah Set for Rematch with High School Friend and Opponent Shawn Robinson As Ohio State Faces TCU

Jeffrey Okudah knows from experience that playing Shawn Robinson can be a tough test for a football team’s defense.

Okudah and Robinson previously played one another in 2016, when Okudah was a senior at South Grand Prairie High School and Robinson was a senior at DeSoto High School. Robinson’s Eagles got the best of Okudah’s Warriors that day, 37-31, as Robinson threw for 197 yards and a touchdown while running for 108 yards and another touchdown.

Two years later, though, with Okudah now playing cornerback for Ohio State and Robinson now the starting quarterback for TCU, Okudah will have a chance to turn the tables when his Buckeyes play Robinson’s Horned Frogs at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas – just a short drive from where each of them grew up – on Saturday night.
