Caelum Swanton-Rodger is ODU’s shot-blocking, high-efficiency frontcourt anchor
Swanton-Rodger profiles as a defense-first forward who changes games at the rim: in the 2024-25 season, he started 33 of 34 games for Old Dominion, ranked second in the Sun Belt in both blocks (61) and blocks per game (1.79), and shot 56.9% from the field while adding 4.9 rebounds per game.[1][14] His value goes beyond box-score basics—he brings proven rim protection, physicality, and enough offensive efficiency to fit as a complementary big, though foul trouble has been a recurring limiter this season.[15]
