Adepoju Adebawore was already considered one of the top prospects in the Midwest. Yet, he emerged as one of the country’s top defensive recruits in the summer of 2022 with a series of dominating performances on the camp circuit. North Kansas City coach Leon Douglas was not surprised with his climb up the rankings. “Adepoju Adebawore is a different guy,” Douglas said. “In the past he’s been a tight end; solid blocker and does some good things. Playing defensive end, you just really see his skill set pop on the field.” Adebawore goes by the nickname PJ to his friends, family and teammates. His older brother signed with Northwestern as part of the Class of 2018.
