Senior Bowl Riser: From start to finish, Odrick just kept coming. He constantly penetrated the line of scrimmage with a fiendish first step and incredible leg drive. The lean tackle was also very stout versus the run in the way he stood up his opponents, showing impressive hand skills.
SCOUT'S TAKE
Anonymous Scout: The interior lineman takes away the inside from running backs and forces the play outside. Odrick single-handedly blows up the opposition’s running game by taking up two and sometimes three defenders freeing up space for his teammates to make tackles.
2009 Preseason: Last season Odrick emerged into one of the nation's top defensive linemen with 41 total tackles, 9.5 for loss, and 4.5 sacks. His 2007 season was cut short by ankle and hand injuries, so he had a lot to prove last season. Odrick has great size a 6’5 306, and almost always commands double teams, which allows other players to make plays (see 2009 first round pick Aaron Maybin). He plays the run well, but also has the ability to rush the passer, and can both inside on the edge. He is a hard worker and doesn’t take plays off.

04.16.09 - Few Big Ten offensive linemen could hold up against Penn State defensive tackle Jared Odrick for four quarters last season. The Lebanon High School graduate's combination of size (6-5, 303) and quickness eventually wore out the opposition. His first team All-Big Ten selection was well-deserved. Now the senior is preparing for what could be an All-America season. He's that good. And to make the jump to the next level, Odrick said today he needs to work on one area. "Just being more violent overall,'' Odrick said. “Play the game and play it right, violently.''
