BOOM! 2025 North Carolina defensive tackle Trajen Odom commits to Ohio State football

Ohio State football’s 2025 recruiting class is the top group in the nation, and on Friday added yet another highly talented player.

North Carolina defensive tackle Trajen Odom committed to the Buckeyes, as their defensive line class just gets stronger. The 6-foot, 4-inch and 285-pound interior lineman chose Ohio State over USC , Oregon Colorado , UCLA , and Georgia .

It’s a big recruiting win for the Buckeyes, as Odom is ranked as the No. 283 overall prospect and 31st defensive lineman according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings . He joins Zion Grady , Zahir Mathis , and London Merritt to form one of the best collections of commitments at their position in the country.

Odom is commitment No. 21 for Ohio State, as they look like they will take a rather large class in this cycle.
