Jack Ikegwuonu (born January 7, 1986 in Madison, Wisconsin) is an American football cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. Collegiately, he played for the Wisconsin Badgers. He played high school football at James Madison Memorial High School in Madison.
Ikegwuonu was expected to be one of the top cornerbacks in college in 2008 had he returned to Wisconsin for his senior season. Ikegwuonu elected to forgo his senior college season to enter the 2008 NFL Draft, but then injured his knee in January while preparing for the NFL Combine. The Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the fourth round, as the 131st overall selection. Prior to his ACLinjury, he was widely projected to be selected in the first round of the Draft. Ikegwuonu will have his ACL surgically repaired. He's been waiting for the swelling to go down after getting hurt. He is expected to begin running again in three months. Ikegwuonu is expected to make a full recovery from his injury, but is unlikely to play for the Eagles until the 2009 NFL season.
