Playing strong safety as a senior, he is averaging six tackles a game and has 48 tackles on the season. He has also accounted for 10 tackles for loss and his hard hitting ability has forced two fumbles. He also has two fumble recoveries and two sacks.
Things are picking up for Ihenacho on the recruiting trail.
"Villanova, Fresno State, UC-Davis and San Jose State are close to offering," Ihenacho said. "My brother plays for San Jose State so I'm definitely interested in them.
"I'm still very open at this time and is interested in any school that wants me."
Things could get very interesting for Ihenacho as Serra's season progresses. There could be a late run on his services.
Ihenacho is a full qualifier carrying a 3.5 GPA and a passing SAT.
