Ezeiruaku Shifts to OLB, Eyes Big Year

0:00On March 2nd, Dallas Cowboys, outside linebacker, Donovan as they were Waku, had off-season surgery to fix a hip labor issue. The second round pick from the 2025 draft will sit out most of the team's spring workouts, but should be back for training camp-in, Oxnard, California. In his rookie year, as they were Waku saw action in all 17 games, starting nine of them. He racked up 40 tackles, nine tackles for loss, two sex, and forced one fumble, showing real promise on defense. Now, the Cowboys are shifting him to outside linebacker in their new scheme under coordinator Christian Parker. Coaches see this as a perfect fit to boost his role. Defensive coach Shottenheimer praised Azera Waku's skills for setting the edge against the run, pressuring quarterbacks, and even dropping into. Coverage, when needed, he noted the player looks comfortable in those spots, unlike some who struggle. As recovery ramps up, Dallas is eyeing a big step forward for his AeroWaku in year two, especially with the fresh defensive look-taking shape.
