Here at OBNUG, we’re working overtime to get these countdowns pushed out on schedule. Sometimes that means we’re working on the countdown, sometimes it just means we’re super late and relying on teamwork to get things published. We’re not saying which today was, but we will tell you it’s time for another defensive tackle on today’s countdown —Ahmed Hassanein
#91, Ahmed Hassanein, Sophomore, DL
Stats
Height: 6’3”

High School: Loara High School, Anaheim, CA
How’d he get to The Blue™?
Born in the OC, Ahmed moved to Egypt when he was 6 (https://www.ocregister.com/2020/12/16/loaras-ahmed-hassanein-completes-switft-recruiting-journey-to-sign-with-boise-state/). After some turbulent time in his teens, Ahmed moved back to the US to live with his older brother, Cory Besch, a football coach and instructional aide at Loara High. Besch had played his college ball with Spencer Danielson, which gave the Broncos an inside track recruiting the quick-learning Hassanein.
Despite a litany of offers for the 3-star defensive lineman, in the end he chose Boise State because of his relationship with Coach Danielson.
Nickname
“Mr. Universe”
Being ranked #1 in his CrossFit age group in Egypt was no accident https://www.prepredzone.com/2020/10/prospect-spotlight-loara-dt-ahmed-hassanein/

2022 Prospectus
Last year, we predicted Mr. Hassanein might need some bulk from the weight room and nutritionist before he got much field time. Not only did he add on to his already impressive frame, he even snuck in some game reps with appearances in 4 games.
While joining the starting rotation is probably out of the question, Hassenein seems to be developing into a capable backup for fifth-years Scott Matlock, Jackson Cravens, and Divine Obichere. Look for Ahmed to work his way into the steady playtime rotation, and breathe a little easier about the defensive tackle depth going forward.
Is he on Twitter?
Absolutely! Follow him @A_Hassanein91
The culture that built the Great Pyramids of Egypt remind me of the one that built the Boise State Broncos. Both were built on solid foundations, through hard work and discipline, enabling them to achieve greatness, make history, and leave legacies that will last forever. pic.twitter.com/d7hD0j5mSx
