Linebacker Emmanuel Ogbah was signed by the Cleveland Browns, the team announced Thursday.

Ogbah makes the seventh player signed, out of 14 draft picks.
 
According to the Browns, Ogbah, a three-year starter at Oklahoma State, collected 133 tackles, 35.5 tackles for loss and 26.5 sacks. In his junior and final season with the Cowboys, the 6-foot-4, 273-pound prospect made career-highs of 17.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks.
 
Ogbah was an All-Big 12 selection in 2014 and impressed at the combine with his athleticism, the Browns said, running a 4.67-second 40-yard dash.
 
“When he’s angry, he’s a powerful force to be reckoned with,” NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said during a broadcast shortly after Ogbah was selected in the draft.
