5-Star Cornerback Danny Odom Signs With Nebraska

Nebraska has landed its top target in the 2026 class as five-star cornerback Danny Odom from Orlando, Florida, officially signs with the Huskers. Ranked 31st nationally, the No. 2 cornerback, and No. 4 player in Florida, Odom is a true blue-chip addition. At 6-2, 180 pounds, he has the size, burst, and polish to make an early impact in Lincoln.

Odom chose Nebraska over heavyweights Ohio State, Oklahoma, Auburn, and Penn State, and stayed firm in his commitment despite the defensive staff changes that saw Matt Rhule move on from coordinator John Butler. Nebraska’s defensive backfield has been a surprising strength this season, and Odom should elevate it even further.

With elite length, quickness, and man-coverage ability, Odom is precisely what you expect from a five-star corner—and exactly the kind of player Nebraska needs.
