[NU Sports] More about Odenigbo

[Scott Zeller, M.D.]

Some more info for you: A big guy who can run a 4.5 forty (!) and is known
for his athleticism, quickness and ability to change directions.

*Ht: *6-3.5 *Wt: *217 *40: *4.5

Scout opinion:
I think he has as much upside as anyone in the state of Ohio. He has so
much that you can't teach. His explosiveness, his first step and closing
speed are all special, and the fact that he's barely played the game is
scary. I believe he'll grow into a true defensive end, but think he'd be
best as a stand up OLB in a 3-4. That said, there's a spot for a kid this
long, athletic and straight up fast in any defense.
