I'm going to be very interested in watching Nwafor's development. A guy from a small HS in football-crazy Texas, who apparently never really did the whole combine circuit; showed up at a Stanford camp, IIRC, earned a scholarship offer, disappeared from the recruiting buzz until he committed to Stanford, then showed up at a couple of all-star games late and outperformed guys who were rated as 4-stars.
Obviously he has natural size for the DT position; let the Stanford coaches work with him, and hopefully he elevates his play at the big time college level. I'm wondering if, in one of the strongest recruiting classes (on paper) in Stanford history, he might not be the sleeper we are all talking about in a couple of years.Â

(scroll down to the section on D-Line stepping up to get a rave about Nwafor, with a word of caution about intensity)
And, on Ikenna's strong performance in the game itself:
