Biography

Prince Tega Wanogho (born November 22, 1997) is a Nigerian-born American football offensive tackle who is a free agent. He played college football at Auburn and was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft.

Early life

Wanogho was born in Delta State, Nigeria and moved to Alabama in 2014 in hopes of becoming a basketball player. He attended Edgewood Academy in Elmore, Alabama, where he learned to play football as a defensive lineman. Despite playing only one year of football, Wanogho was a four star recruit, committing to Auburn University; he had offers from multiple schools such as Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, and Texas.

College career

Wanogho redshirted his first year at Auburn, recovering from a leg injury he suffered while playing basketball in his final year of high school. As a converted offensive lineman, he played in 10 games as a backup in 2016.

In 2017, he took over as the starter at left tackle and remained at that position until his senior season in 2019; he started in a total of 32 games.
