Omar Brown (born 21 June 1982 in Trelawny) is a Jamaican sprinter who specialises in the 200 metres.

He was successful as a junior athlete, winning the silver and bronze medals in the 200 m and 100 metres races at the 1999 World Youth Championships. The following year he finished fourth at the World Junior Championships. He ran collegiately for the University of Arkansas.

He won the 200 metres race at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, and was ranked ninth in the world for the 200 metres that year by Track and Field News magazine.

In 2007, he married Jamaican Olympian Veronica Campbell.^[1] He suffered a setback that year in the form of an ankle injury. He returned at the 2008 Jamaican trials but suffered a hamstring injury, caused by a faulty technique due to pain in his ankle. He underwent surgery in September 2008 to remove a bone spur, but the scar tissue from the surgery hampered his track comeback.^[2] He did not return until the end of the 2009 season, taking fourth place in the 200 m at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix.^[3][4]

Duke Uba Ihenacho (born June 26, 1989) is an American football safety for the Denver Broncos. He played college football at San Jose State.

Early life[link]

Born in Torrance, California, Ihenacho grew up in Carson, California and graduated from Junípero Serra High School at Gardena in 2007.^[1] He is of Nigerian descent.^[2] Although Ihenacho's mother did not allow Duke Ihenacho to play Pop Warner football, Duke Ihenacho joined the Serra High School football team in junior year after playing basketball and baseball most of his childhood.^[3]

College career[link]

At San Jose State University, Ihenacho played five seasons with the Spartans football team under coaches Dick Tomey and Mike MacIntyre and majored in business marketing. Ihenacho played on the team with his older brother Carl Ihenacho until 2009.^[1]

Ihenacho entered the Spartans in 2007 as the youngest player on the team and ended the year with 32 tackles, the most for a San Jose State freshman since 2004. On September 29, Ihenacho made the only blocked punt in a win against UC Davis.^[1] Following the blocked punt, quarterback Adam Tafralis made a 47-yard touchdown pass.^[4] Ihenacho made a season-high seven tackles on October 12 against Hawaii and forced a fumble in that game as well.^[1] San Jose State ended 2007 with a 5-7 record (4-4 in Western Athletic Conference games).^[5]

In 2008, ESPN ranked Carl and Duke Ihenacho as one of the top ten brother combinations in college football for being among the top defensive players in FBS football.^[6] By mid-October 2008, Duke led the FBS in interceptions.^[3] In both the October 11 game against Utah State and October 18 game against New Mexico State, Ihenacho scored a 43-yard touchdown off an interception. Ihenacho's two interceptions in the Utah State game marked the only such time in the 2008 season. Ihenacho played as a linebacker in 2008 and was a first-team All-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) selection.^[1] San Jose State finished 2008 one game up from 2007, 6-6 (but still 4-4 in WAC).^[7]

However, San Jose State finished the 2009 season 2-10 (1-7 WAC). In 2009, Ihenacho made 89 tackles, the second-most in the team that year, and tied his individual game high of 12 on October 10 against Idaho and November 21 against Hawaii.^[8] San Jose State football coach Dick Tomey retired after 2009, and Mike MacIntyre became the new head coach.^[9] In MacIntyre's first season, the Spartans finished 1-11 (0-8 WAC).^[10] Ihenacho played only in two games of 2010 before a season-ending injury.^[11]

2011 was a better season for the San Jose State Spartans, who finished 5-7 (3-4 WAC).^[12] Ihenacho made 73 tackles in 2011, the third-most in the team, and led the team in deflected passes with six. Ihenacho made his third career touchdown on October 1 with a 20-yard fumble return against Colorado State.^[1] That was also the first fumble returned for a touchdown by a San Jose State player since 2004.^[13] In four games, Ihenacho made 10 or more tackles, including a season high 11 each against Idaho and Utah State.^[1]

On October 14, 2011, San Jose State rallied in its homecoming game to beat Hawaii 28-27. ESPN carried that game as part of College Football Friday Primetime. With San Jose State down 27-20 in the fourth quarter, Ihenacho recovered a blocked point after touchdown and took the ball to the end zone for a defensive two-point conversion. San Jose State won despite five turnovers.^[14] Geico nominated Ihenacho's conversion as the company's Play of the Year.^[15]

Ihenacho earned his third first-team All-WAC selection in 2011.^[16]
