| Oku is a definite home run threat when he touches the ball. He has great patience in finding the hole and then explodes through it with cat like quickness. He has tremendous cutting ability and sometimes is able to make the man trying to defend him look like he is standing still. -Greg Powers |
| Biography: |

2007 (Jr.): 1,628 yards with 20 touchdowns.

Senior: Oku rushed for over 200 yards and four touchdowns in only two games (1-1).
Oku: "I have great vision. That's my biggest strength. I can also read defenses good and I have the ability to get by the defender. I think I'm a Joe McKnight (USC running back)-type. I can be used in many different ways.
"I'm hoping to grow about two more inches. If I keep taking my vitamins and stuff, I think it'll happen. I'm also trying to get faster and work on my quickness. I'm always trying to get better and in the off-season I've just focused on running and hitting the weights."
