A Washington Post honorable mention all-metro performer his senior season at Osbourn Park (Manassas, VA), linebacker Quillie Odom impressed head coach Robert Prunty greatly upon arriving at Hargrave Military Academy in August. Prunty placed the 6-2, 225-pound Odom at middle linebacker, the position the Virginia Tech 2007 signee has started at all season long.
“I thought I was more of an outside linebacker, but the Hargrave coaches feel like I fit perfectly inside,” said Odom. “I’m physical, aggressive and I get to the ball. I have good vision for the ball. That’s why they like me inside. I always thought I was an undersized inside linebacker in high school, but if I keep being aggressive and be tougher and more physical out there then I think I could play inside in college.”
A consistent force for the Tigers defense, Odom has also come up with some big plays – he has made an interception, forced a fumble that resulted in a Hargrave touchdown and was in on a safety. Odom is playing with confidence and has been very pleased with his performance so far.
