The 6-foot-1-inch, 222-pound Ossai committed to the UA over Nevada, Air Force, Dartmouth, Army, Houston Baptist and New Mexico State, among others. Ossai's brother, Joseph Ossai, is currently a star linebacker for the Texas Longhorns entering his third season.Β
KC, the Conroe, Texas native, is rated by 247Sports as the 52nd-best inside linebacker nationally despite his film showing him playing off the edge as an outside linebacker for Oak Ridge High School; He's also rated as the 188th-best prospect from Texas.Β
Ossai is the second player to commit to Arizona in as many days, joining junior-college offensive tackle Cade Parrish who committed to the Wildcats on Saturday.Β
