Pius Odjugo brings size, backfield disruption and MAC-tested experience to Ohio’s defensive front
Odjugo is a big-bodied **defensive tackle** who gives Ohio a proven interior presence after logging action in all 12 games for Central Michigan in 2024 as a backup DT; Ohio’s fall-camp notes say he “stood out” and was causing problems in the backfield, while the program also noted he missed spring camp after a five-month stretch without a team following his transfer decision. [1][3][7] His fit is clear: he looks like a disruptive rotational lineman with the strength and leverage to eat space inside, and the key question is whether he can turn that camp buzz into consistent weekly production.
