The UCLA Bruins witnessed one of their own lending a hand to those in need this week as former star and current San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa was seen passing out turkeys and meals to members of the San Jose community earlier this week.
Alex Tran, a content producer for the 49ers, shared the video of Odighizuwa in the middle of his philanthropic work, with Tran stating that helping others has been something the former Bruin has prioritized since his childhood.
“Someone I talked to who has known him since the age of 9 said he has BEEN that dude and truly humble like that,” wrote Tran.

Odighizuwa was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, following his stellar career at UCLA. Playing for the program from 2016-2020, he earned First-Team All-Pac-12 honors during his final collegiate season, before embarking on a professional career that now spans six seasons.
After taking a hometown discount to remain a member of the Cowboys, Dallas traded him to the 49ers one year later. However, it’s been a positive for the former Bruin, as San Francisco leads the NFC, with Odighizuwa shining on their defense. He has 16 total tackles and two sacks through eight games this season.
