It’s been a long road for Alex Akingbulu, but the end goal is in sight: Making it into the NFL.
The Fresno State offensive lineman broke out with a tremendous 2021 campaign, finishing as a first-team All-Mountain West nominee for his play at right tackle. A former UCLA transfer who suffered an injury that saw him miss both his 2016 and 2017 high school seasons, Akingbulu has had to do his fair share of waiting for his time to shine. However, once given the chance, he proved to be an anchor for the Bulldogs in one of the program’s best seasons in recent memory.
Draft Wire had the chance to speak exclusively with Akingbulu about his journey, his pursuit of a Master’s degree, his work ethic, and more.
