Kayode is a College and a High School Sports writer at Sportskeeda. He hails from Nigeria and has an undergraduate degree in linguistics and African Languages. Previously, he wrote for elitethrive.com and nowjaijs.com. Kayode joined Sportskeeda in June 2023, which was his first foray into sports writing. He strives to report stories based only on verified information as he understands that the truth is always more important than sensationalism.

Kayode likes Alabama football and admires what Nick Saban did for the program. With Saban’s exit, Kayode is keen to find out what Kalen DeBoer does to maintain Alabama’s consistency and dominance.

While Kayode believes the level of competition in college sports and professional sports isn’t too far off, he is aware that pro leagues absorb the best athletes and thus the quality is expectedly higher. Kayode believes Shedeur Sanders deserves more hype for what the Colorado Buffaloes did to start the 2023 football season. While the hot streak eventually fizzled out, the transformation should bear more fruit in the seasons to come.

When not writing, Kayode enjoys reading and watching sports documentaries. His most recent watch? "Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In."
