Owusu-Koramoah's New Path: Harvard & Beyond

On April 3rd, Cleveland Brown's linebacker, Jeremiah Ousu Kora Moa, got drafted in the

second round of the 2021 NFL Draft with big dreams.

He aimed to snag a Super Bowl ring and smashed the team's tackles for loss record.

But a brutal neck injury against the Baltimore Ravens in 2024 derailed everything, likely

ending his playing days.

That hit came in a collision with running back Derek Henry on October 27th, leaving him

paralyzed on the field before he got carted off.

Fresh off a pro bowl season in 2023 with 101 tackles and 3.5 sacks, he had already signed

at 37.5 million dollar extension and not 61 tackles in 8 games that year.

Now sideline through 2024 and 2025, the 26 year old shifted gears fast.

He applied to Harbor Kennedy School for a Masters in Public Policy back in December 2025

and got the acceptance notice while heading to New York in March 2026.

The Browns backed him all the way with owner Jimmy Haslam and General Manager Andrew Berry

pinning glowing recommendation letters.

Berry, a Harbor grad himself with degrees in economics and computer science, called it

an easy yes, praising Ousu Kora Moa as a lifelong Brown and top ambassador.

He starts classes this fall, 2026.

As wide open to life off the field, turning setback into a fresh shot at impact beyond the

grid iron.
