Tolulope "Jordan" Omogbehin[3] (born May 16, 1994) is a Nigerian professional wrestler and former college basketball player. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name Omos and is the tallest wrestler on WWE's active roster.[4]

In the course of his career as a college basketball player, he played for the University of South Florida and Morgan State University from 2014 to 2015 and played as a forward for King University men’s basketball team from 2015 to 2016.[5][6] Omogbehin signed with WWE in January 2019 & became a 1-time Raw Tag Team Champion with AJ Styles in 2021.[7]

In 2012 while at USF Omogbehin was partially medically cleared. His medical testing showed he had a pituitary tumor in his brain. The tumor was responsible for his high Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) levels, gigantism and Cushing Disease.[8] The tumor was pressing on his optical nerves as well and would have caused blindness. He underwent surgeries in 2012 and 2013 to remove the tumor. As a result, he now requires lifelong hormone replacement therapy since his body no longer produces testosterone naturally.
