Early life
Ojo was born in Mansfield, Texas.[1] He attended Lake Ridge High School where he competed in football, basketball and track and field as a discus thrower.[1] As a junior on the football team, Ojo was named first-team all-area by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as an offensive tackle, despite his team compiling an overall record of 1–9 while going winless in conference play.[3] He was also selected to the Polynesian Bowl and was named an Adidas All-American.[4] As a senior, Ojo allowed no sacks and only four pressures, being selected All-American by MaxPreps, Rivals.com and Dave Campbell's Texas Football.[1] He was also invited to the All-American Bowl and won the Anthony Muñoz Award as the best high school football lineman.[5]
Ojo was ranked a five-star recruit and one of the top overall prospects in the 2026 recruiting class.[6][7] In July 2025, he committed to play college football for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, receiving one of the largest name, image, and likeness (NIL) contracts in history, worth $5.1 million, a figure higher than many NFL salaries.[8][9] Ojo became the highest-ranked Texas Tech recruit ever.[10]
