The 247Sports Composite ranks Odom as the No. 64 in the nation, the No. 4 tight end and the No. 11 player in the state of Georgia.
The 6-foot-5 commit chose Alabama over Florida, Texas A&M, Miami, and Ole Miss.
“I see myself fitting in Tuscaloosa and the environment there,” Odom told 247Sports. “Then I built a great relationship with Coach Saban. They showed me the ways I can be utilized and getting Coach (Tommy) Rees there. He had some great tight ends at Notre Dame, and that was very appealing.”
Odom earned first-team honors on MaxPreps Junior All-American team with 63 passes for 1,121 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. Odom, along with 2026 Alabama commit Zykie Helton, helped lead the Trojans to a 14-1 record and runner-up finish in Georgia’s 7A classification.
