At Cornell
Okereke played in one game in 2011 after seeing action at Bucknell in his first varsity appearance in 2010. He spent a majority of his first two seasons on the two-deep at cornerback. He saw significant time as the starter during the spring of 2011 and will attempt to earn more field time, as well as find a spot on special teams, in the fall of 2012.

At Boston College HS
A member of two Massachusetts Division I Super Bowl championship squads at Boston College HS, Okereke was given the 2009 Boston College HS Scholar-Athlete Award. He was a wide receiver and defensive back on a pair of league championship squads, earning preseason All-Metro honors by the Boston Herald in 2009. The three-sport athlete (basketball, track & field) was a conference all-star on the track.
