Nearly two weeks after being on the receiving end of Dabo Swinney’s boot, Ebenezer Ogundeko has found a new program to call home -- albeit at a decidedly lower rung on the college football ladder.
In a tweet posted to his personal Twitter account, Ogundeko announced that he will continue his playing career at Tennessee State. As the Tigers compete at the FCS level, Ogundeko will be eligible to play immediately in 2015.
Ogundeko will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Time to start my new journey at TSU. God is good and I thank you for another opportunity. #blessed #TSU

Ogundeko was dismissed by the football program May 19 for what was initially described as unspecified violations of team rules. It was subsequently reported that Ogundeko had been arrested in mid-May on charges of financial transaction card fraud.
A four-star member of the Tigers’ 2013 recruiting class, Ogundeko was rated as the No. 15 strongside defensive end in the country; the No. 1 player at any position in the state of New York; and the No. 231 player overall according to Rivals.com.
After redshirting as a true freshman, he played in seven games in 2014.
