On Thursday evening, the New York Giants announced the signing of former Georgia outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari.
The same night, New York also revealed which jersey number the second round draft selection will be wearing in 2021, Ojulari’s rookie season.
The former four-star recruit out of Marietta will be donning the No. 51 in New York. He wore No. 13 during his playing days at UGA.

In 2020, Ojulari had the best season of his Georgia career. In 10 games, he had 31 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks (led SEC), 2 pass deflections, 1 fumble recovery and 4 forced fumbles. That is one of the best defensive performances that Georgia has seen in one season.
Ojulari, the No. 50 overall pick in the 2021 draft, joins fellow former UGA linebackers Lorenzo Carter and Tae Crowder in New York.
We also got our first look of Ojulari while at the Giants’ rookie minicamp on Friday.
