Washington WR Rome Odunze returning to school, won’t enter 2023 NFL draft

Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze is returning for another year with the Huskies, passing up the 2023 NFL draft

One of the top pass-catchers in college football isn’t making the early jump to the pros just yet.

Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze announced via social media Thursday that he’ll be returning for the 2023 season with the Huskies, foregoing the 2023 NFL draft.

Odunze burst onto the scene with a stellar 2022 campaign, and could have easily been a first-round pick as one of the first wide receivers off the board in this year’s draft.

Returning for another year at the college level will give him an opportunity to polish his skill set even further, improving his stock for the 2024 draft.
