Top high school football recruit Prince Tega Wanogho Jr. of Edgewood Academy in Alabama suffered a terrible leg injury during a basketball game. Wanogho was recently reclassified to the 2015 class after originally being classified for the 2016 class. He has had schools from coast to coast knocking on his door and now he suddenly has to make a decision for signing day only a couple weeks away.
Edgewood star DE Prince Tega just snapped his leg. It's bad.

He caught a long pass and was rolled on trying to score. He immediately started screaming, and his leg was dangling

This is absolutely brutal. If you aren’t familiar with Tega, he just recently moved to the states from Nigeria and this was his first year playing football. He stands 6’8, 250 pounds and the way he moves around on the field is pretty freaky for a guy his size. Do yourself a favor and take a look at his highlight film.
Tega is incredibly gifted and he is only going to get better once he gets coached up and learns the game. I hate seeing kids suffer injuries of this magnitude, especially at such a crucial time in their lives. For now it looks like schools are still going to honor their scholarship offers to Tega.
Edgewood coach Bobby Carr said Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said Tega still has an offer.
