Maurice Odom is Winston-Salem State’s heat-seeking LB who’s already piling up tackles
Maurice Odom enters the 2026 season as a 5-foot-11, 220-pound junior linebacker for Winston-Salem State, and he’s off to a fast start: he had 9 tackles and 2 tackles for loss in the opener against Norfolk State, then followed with 11 tackles in the home game vs. Mars Hill. That kind of production suggests a downhill, physical defender who shows up around the ball and can help stabilize a defense that’s been under pressure. If your team values motor, contact courage, and a reliable tackler, Odom looks like a strong fit.
