Uzo-Diribe was previously the defensive line coach for the TCU Horned Frogs.
He is cousins with Osi Umenyiora, a former NFL player for the New York Giants.
After completing high school at Corona High School, Uzo-Diribe attended University of Colorado Boulder and played college football for the Colorado Buffaloes for four years, where he was a consistent starter and finished top ten in many defensive statistics.
Following the hiring of Sonny Dykes by the TCU Horned Frogs as head coach, Uzo-Diribe rejoined Dykes in TCU as the defensive line coach again.
