Proven MEAC Star Transferring Power to Vermont's Frontcourt
Shy Odom, a 6-6, 230-lb forward from Sierra Canyon (with Bronny James and NBA talents), dominated at Howard as MEAC Rookie of the Year (10.9 PPG, 4.6 RPG in 2022-23) and Preseason POY (8.4 PPG in 2023-24), showcasing elite rim finishes, defensive steals/blocks, and playmaking (1.6 APG career).[1][2][5][6] At Vermont in 2024-25, he's adapting off the bench with 3.7 PPG, 2.2 RPG, and 0.4 BPG in limited 9.8 MPG, flashing 46.9% FG and perfect 3s recently.[1][2][5] His physicality, pro aspirations, and winning pedigree make him a high-upside glue guy—perfect for teams needing tough, versatile forwards who elevate in big moments.[6][8]
