The Tennessee Titans are getting more than just a pass rusher — they’re gaining a loyal leader.
Following his selection in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, UCLA linebacker Oluwafemi Oladejo made a powerful vow to stay committed to the Titans’ football program, promising to give the franchise his all as he begins his NFL journey.
“This is home now,” Oladejo said. “I’m coming in loyal, ready to work, and ready to represent Tennessee the right way.”
The Titans selected the 6-foot-3, 259-pound edge rusher with the 52nd overall pick Friday night after trading back from No. 35 in a deal with the Seattle Seahawks. In return, Tennessee acquired picks 52 and 82.
Oladejo brings an explosive presence to the Titans’ defense. In 2024, he led the UCLA Bruins with 13.5 tackles for loss and recorded 4.5 sacks. Across his collegiate career — which began with two seasons at Cal before transferring to UCLA — he totaled 23 tackles for loss, six sacks, 11 quarterback hits, and three fumble recoveries.
A 2025 Senior Bowl invitee, Oladejo caught the eyes of scouts with his tenacity, versatility, and leadership — qualities the Titans hope to harness immediately.
With his words of loyalty and drive, Oladejo becomes more than just a draft pick; he sets the tone for a new generation of Titans football.
