Ikenna Enechukwu spent the entirety of his collegiate career at Rice University, which was the home to the Houston Roughnecks this past UFL season.
Enechukwu burst onto the scene at Rice in 2019, totaling 27 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and 4.5 TFL’s that year. In 2020 he only played in a couple of games, with COVID restrictions hurting that campaign.
Over the next two years, Ikenna saw quite a bit of success at Rice. From 2021-2022, he posted 85 tackles, 18.5 TFL’s, nine sacks, and two forced fumbles. He earned a East-West Shrine Bowl selection in 2022 following his efforts with Rice.

After spending some time on the open market, Ikenna now looks to the UFL to continue his professional career. He’s the exact type of prospect that General Manager Marc Lillibridge looks to target, and should fit right into the culture that San Antonio features.
