Former longhorn ready to shine in the Super Bowl

On Sunday of the Super Bowl, the Texas Longhorns will be well represented. Old stars such as Xavier Worthy and Charles Omenihu on the chiefs and Moro Ojomo on the Eagles will seek to add a title to their curriculum vitae. Although it was a moment they all dreamed of, Omenihu enters the biggest game of his career more motivated than ever.

After a solid career with the Longhorns, Omenihu was drafted during the fifth round of the 2019 draft by the Texans of Houston. He spent three years in Houston and two years in San Francisco before landing with the chiefs in 2023. His first year with the chiefs ended unhappy in the match for the title of the AFC when he torn his LCA .

Although Omenihu was not able to play in the victory of the Super Bowl des Chiefs, he will have a second chance this year. After falling from the injury, the 27 -year -old appeared in six regular season games. In his limited playing time, the talented defender recorded six plated in total and a bag. It was even better in the playoffs.

In two games, Omenihu recorded six plated and a pass deviation. While the chiefs beat the Texans and the Bills to move a victory below their third consecutive title, Omenihu was difficult to ignore. This put it in a privileged position to shine on the largest scene in football.

For Omenihu, his task includes stopping an offense of Eagles full of talent. If he can make life difficult to injure Jalen, the chiefs’ offensive will have more breathing margin. It is a task that he has been preparing and has been waiting for last year. With him in the mixture, the defense of chiefs will be more difficult to stop.

While Omenihu is preparing to help the chefs to make history, many in Austin will be rooted for the old Longhorn. So far he has shown in the playoffs that he was ready to make his mark and now has the chance to look at millions.
