Amani Oruwariye | From Penn State to the NFL
We chop it up with NFL cornerback Amani Oruwariye about the journey that’s taken him from Tampa, Florida, to Penn State, and eventually to Sundays in the league.
Amani shares what it was like growing up with a Navy mom who ran a tight ship, how he flipped his recruiting story from Vanderbilt to Penn State, and what it really felt like hearing his name called on draft day. He opens up about learning from vets like Darius Slay, the grind of earning respect as a fifth-round pick, and why short-term memory is the secret weapon for every great corner.
It’s a real look at the ups and downs of life in football—the cuts, the comebacks, the faith, and the discipline that keeps him steady. If you’re a young athlete, parent, or coach, this is the kind of conversation that shows you what it really takes to build consistency and thrive at the next level.
