Young, Active UNLV linebacker with a small but encouraging early sample
JT Odom is a 6-foot-2, 235-pound freshman linebacker for UNLV who showed early-game involvement with 3 solo tackles in 2024, but the sample is still very small, so his value is more about projection than production right now.[1][2][13] What stands out is his NFL-ready frame for a young defender and the fact that he has already earned playing time, which suggests coaches trust his physicality and willingness to step into contact.[1][2] He looks like a fit for a team that wants a developmental, downhill linebacker with upside rather than an immediate stat-sheet star.[1][2]
