Danny Odem III brings five-star upside to Nebraska’s secondary
Danny Odem III is a freshman Nebraska defensive back with legitimate difference-maker potential: he arrived as a former five-star and the first in his high school’s history, earned an All-American Bowl invite, and landed on the preseason Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year watch list in 2026. His calling card is sticky coverage talent with length, confidence, and high-end ball skills, while his background as a two-way high school playmaker hints at natural instincts. If you want a young DB with serious ceiling and early-impact traits, he’s a strong fit.
