Early years
Ojabo was born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, in 2000 and moved to Aberdeen, Scotland with his family in 2007. At 17, he moved to Blairstown, New Jersey, in the United States and began attending Blair Academy. He initially played basketball before switching to American football. Ojabo committed to the University of Michigan to play college football in part because the Michigan weather was similar to Scotland and made him feel at home.
College career
Ojabo did not play his first year at Michigan in 2019. As a sophomore in 2020, he played in six games and made one tackle. Ojabo took over as a starter in 2021. On 4 January 2022, he announced that he would forgo his senior year and enter the draft.
While performing on Pro Day at Michigan, Ojabo suffered a left ankle injury while performing a drill. It was later confirmed that he had suffered a torn Achilles.
