From the London Pitch to the Chicago Field
Make Major Changes in His Life.
Timi Oke is a British-born football player who is making the transition to American football after years of playing soccer in the United Kingdom. Oke’s story is well documented by large news sources such as ESPN and Sky Sports.
Oke first started his journey into becoming an American football player in 2022 after watching a video on YouTube of superstar NFL cornerback Jalen Ramsey breaking down film. Oke joined the NFL academy in the UK and worked his way into being a 3-star cornerback in the 2024 recruiting class. Oke committed to Northwestern University in November and is entering into his first ever training camp in the United States.
Oke knows how great of a challenge lies ahead of him in his first season of college football stateside. However, he draws inspiration from many of the NFL’s best who faced the same challenges when they were his age including: Sauce Gardner who Timi models his game after, Trevon Diggs, Patrick Surtain II and the man who got him into the game of American football, Jalen Ramsey.
Coming into his first training camp, Oke knows he has to put a huge emphasis on his nutrition and recovery. When it comes to those two factors, he had this to say:
"In terms of recovery, sleep and nutrition are probably the two most important things. If you’re not eating right, you can’t recover right. Whether that’s taking hydration packs or water it is very important to stay hydrated. When you’re comfortable, your brain works better. So it’s much easier to watch and study film because you have the right nutrition and the right sleep and the next day you feel ready to go. That’s in the film room, being able to pick up on things quicker. Or actually playing the game on the field, being able to see things quicker and react to things quicker, even just .1 of a second makes a big difference in football."
He started taking creatine in May and has seen his body begin to transform into one of an American football player.
Oke knows what it takes to succeed well off the field. He maintained a 4.0 GPA all throughout high school and in the NFL academy.
When it comes to Fluid products, he had this to say on which products he finds most useful as a student athlete:
“I love the tablets or the EDM packets because they’re easy to transport. I’m a guy, especially as a student athlete, I’m always on the move both class to class or traveling for away games. It definitely helps to stay consistent [with hydration] because I can take them anywhere I need to take them which is definitely the biggest benefit.”
