OSU football Q&A: Amen Ogbongbemiga excited to face Texas A&M in the city where he lived as a child

HOUSTON — Oklahoma State has five players on its roster who came from high schools in the Houston metro or the nearby area, but that doesn’t include junior linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga.

Born in Nigeria, Ogbongbemiga’s family moved to Houston when he was 3 years old, then moved to Canada when he was 12, settling in Calgary.

Back in Houston for the Texas Bowl against Texas A&M at 5:45 p.m. Friday inside NRG Stadium, Ogbongbemiga will be a key player in the Cowboy defense’s plan to contain the Aggies.
