Trajen Odom brings a college-ready frame and disruptive high-school production to Ohio State
Odom is a **young interior defensive lineman** with a pro-style build, listed at 6-3, 295, and he already entered Ohio State as a spring-enrolled freshman who earned a redshirt after appearing in two games in 2025.[7][2] His appeal is in the traits: he was a four-star recruit with strong backfield disruption in high school, including 54 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, four sacks, and a forced fumble as a junior, which points to burst, leverage, and playmaking upside rather than just size.[7][14] For a team, he projects as a developmental DL who can grow into an impact run-stuffer and penetrator if his power and technique keep trending up.[8][6]
