John Ojukwu (born January 9, 1999) is an American professional football offensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Boise State Broncos and was signed by the Titans as an undrafted free agent in 2023.

Early life
Ojukwu was born on January 9, 1999. He attended Boise High School and was a three-year starter at offensive tackle, earning two first-team all-conference honors as well as an all-state selection. As a junior, Ojukwu weighed only 185 pounds. Knowing that he needed to gain weight to have a chance in college, he ate large amounts of food and constantly worked out, gaining close to 100 pounds in nine months, with a diet that included a daily gallon of milk and sometimes whole pizzas. He was a three-star recruit and was ranked as the third-best prospect from Idaho, eventually committing to play college football for the Boise State Broncos.

College career
Ojukwu redshirted his first season at Boise State, 2017. He began the 2018 season as a backup before being put into action against Nevada on October 13, and he never missed a start in the games he played afterwards for the rest of his college career. Ojukwu started the final seven games of the year at right tackle and finished the season having appeared in all 12 games. He remained starting right tackle in 2019, starting 11 games and helping block for an offense that was 14th-nationally in scoring. Ojukwu switched to being a left tackle in 2020 and was named second-team All-Mountain West Conference (MWC) while starting all seven games. In 2021, he started 12 games and earned first-team All-MWC honors while allowing four sacks and committing only one penalty.

In his final season, 2022, Ojukwu was the only Boise State player to start all 14 games on offense and allowed no sacks while committing just two penalties. He finished his stint with the Broncos having played close to 1,900 snaps, on which he allowed just 11 sacks, additionally allowing just eight quarterback hits in his final three seasons. He was invited to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and the East–West Shrine Bowl at the conclusion of his college career.
