Cedric Ogbuehi (born April 25, 1992) is an American football offensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Texas A&M.

Early years

Ogbuehi attended Allen High School in Allen, Texas, where he was a two-time all-state selection. In his junior year, Ogbuehi was the best blocker for an offense that averaged 36.1 points and 225 rushing yards per game, finishing the season 15–1 with a UIL state championship. As a senior, Ogbuehi helped lead the way for an Allen offense that averaged over 466 yards per game, allowing just one sack. He was an Associated Press second-team all-state pick and unanimous first-team all-district honoree. He played in the 2010 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Ogbuehi was ranked as the No. 13 offensive tackle recruit in his class.[1] He chose Texas A&M over offers from Nebraska, Kansas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State.

College career

Ogbuehi was redshirted in 2010. As a freshman in 2011 he started six of 10 games at guard. As a sophomore in 2012, he started all 13 games at guard. As a junior in 2013, he was moved to offensive tackle.[2]

As a senior in 2014, he received first team All-America honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation.[3]

Professional career

As early as May 2014, Ogbuehi was projected a high first-round selection in the 2015 NFL Draft by various mock drafts.[4][5][6] Despite tearing his ACL in his final college football game, he was selected 21st in the 2015 NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.
