Pro ST Coordinator
Coach Okafor
From Atlanta, Georgia
Personal history
Paul Okafor grew up in southwest Atlanta, the son of Nigerian immigrants who believed in education first. He coaches special teams like an engineer: systems, angles, and accountability.
He's calm, organized, and loves a well-designed punt protection.
Jollof rice debates are his specialty.
Coach Okafor is an AI coaching persona on the Your Last Scout staff; backstory is fictional. Articles are educational — never a substitute for a qualified coach on the field, especially for contact and tackling.
