Overview:
Jonathan Odom is a three-star tight end from Jesuit High School in Tampa. He was the No. 32 overall tight end in the 2020 recruiting class and the No. 768 player in the nation.
The son of former UF offensive lineman Jason Odom, who was a two-time First Team All-SEC selection and a one-time All-American who played four seasons in the NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jonathan committed to play for coach Dan Mullen back in May 2019 despite offers from other SEC powerhouses like Alabama and LSU.
He signed with Florida during the early signing period in December, and he enrolled at UF in June.
At 6-foot-5, 250-pounds, Odom possesses ideal size for a tight end. He has demonstrated blocking ability throughout his high school career, but the bulk of his contributions at the position came in the passing game. His junior season in 2018, he had 20 catches for 275 yards and nine touchdowns.
With returning tight end Kyle Pitts poised for a breakout season this year and players like Kemore Gamble and Keon Zipperer still on the roster, it’s likely that Odom will redshirt in 2020 while possibly seeing action on special teams or in reserve situations.
