Early Life
Omon was born in San Diego, California and attended Beatrice High School in Beatrice, Nebraska. Both his brothers died when Omon was a child: when Omon was 8, he lost a brother to a drunk driver, and at age 14 another brother committed suicide. However, he learned he had a half-brother during the latter part of 2010, who was a defensive tackle for the San Diego Chargers, Ogemdi Nwagbuo. The two met for the first time during the 2011 pre-season, during the warm-ups of a game between their respective teams, the 49ers and Chargers. Nwagbuo has since been released by the Chargers and signed by the Carolina Panthers, while Omon has moved on to the Denver Broncos practice squad. Along with this brother, Omon has also discovered Nwagbuo's full siblings Gerald and Darlene, the latter of whom is a volleyball player for Boise State. During his sophomore year, he told a select group of friends that someday he would be an NFL running back.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“Life! Life! Don’t let us go to life for our fulfilment or our experience. It is a thing narrowed by circumstances, incoherent in its utterance, and without that fine correspondence of form and spirit which is the only thing that can satisfy the artistic and critical temperament. It makes us pay too high a price for its wares, and we purchase the meanest of its secrets at a cost that is monstrous and infinite.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
