Resilient ODU WR with Big-Play Flair and Steady Hands
Diante Vines exploded for a career-high 89 yards on four catches in ODU's 2024 clash with James Madison, finishing the season third on the team with 36 receptions for 323 yards and 2 TDs across 11 games (10 starts)[6][7]. A gritty comeback story—bouncing back from a 2022 preseason injury at Iowa and transferring in 2024—this versatile slot receiver brings explosive YAC ability, reliable hands on contested balls, and consistent targeting (6+ in 4 of last 6 games)[7]. No major injury red flags since, his high-motor intensity makes him a sneaky fit for teams needing a tough, productive WR2 who elevates in big moments.
