2022 NFLDraft prospect Alex Akingbulu wants to make an impact on & off the football field. JustinM_NFL sat down w/ Akingbulu to discuss how Fresno State's offense helped prepare him for the NFL, which scheme he prefers to play in & more. FrontOffice33
Every year, there are a handful of prospects who force NFL decision-makers to do a deeper dive into their college film after putting together a strong senior season.is one of those players in the 2022 draft class. Akingbulu was nominated first-team All-Mountain West after starting all 13 games for the Bulldogs at right tackle. The 6-foot-6, 300-pound blocker helped propel an excellent Bulldogs offense that averaged 464 yards and 33.4 points per contest.
As a mature adult, I can look back and thank God for those decisions. I wouldn’t be here today if I didn’t make the decision to transfer to such a wonderful program that is Fresno State. They welcomed me with open arms and provided me with an excellent opportunity. My story would definitely be different.
JM: You did that. You started every game for an offense that scored 33 points per game and averaged 137 yards per contest. How did playing in that Fresno State offense help prepare you for the NFL? AA: I graduated and received my Masters in Education. I then started my Masters and began earning my MBA in Business. I definitely want to be able to give back to my community with my background in education. I want to give back to the children. I definitely want to teach the kids. I see myself teaching kids about financial literacy post-football. That’s something I feel that’s lacking in African-American neighborhoods that struggle with lower incomes.
JM: That’s a great point. How would you describe your body type and how it best suits you at the offensive tackle position?
