Mekka
DON
1998
The first edition of “Where Are They Now” for the 2025 season, presented by Ben Aucoin, State Farm Agent, is Emeka Onyejekwe ’99, aka Mekka Don!
Mekka’s first love was soccer, and he was a member of the 1997 Boys Soccer team at DeSales. After a growth spurt and some encouragement from Coach Bob Jacoby, he decided to join the Stallion Football team and became part of the 1998 State Championship squad. Following his time at DeSales, Mekka joined The Ohio State University’s football program as a preferred walk-on. He graduated from Ohio State Cum Laude in just three years, and later earned his law degree from New York University School of Law.
These days, Mekka Don wears a lot of hats. He’s an entrepreneur, lawyer, hip-hop artist, and brand consultant. Over the years, he’s landed major deals with HBO, ESPN, The Ohio State University, Champs Sports, The Cleveland Browns, The Big Ten Network, and more.
