UNC football is added to its roster once again with another commitment from the Class of 2026. Earlier this week, the team added a commitment from Zavion Griffin-Haynes, a four-star edge rusher.
This time, Mack Brown and company are bolstering the secondary with cornerback Danny Odem from Florida. They both join three-star Zaid Lott as the three recruits for the Heels Class of 2026.
Odem is not ranked on On3 or 247 Sports, but ESPN gave him a three-star rating, the No. 292 best player in the class.
Dan Callaham and Inside Carolina got this quote from Odem. “North Carolina has always been my dream school. So, it was just very exciting when they offered and invited me to the game.”

Dan Callahan went on to say that three games into his junior season, Odem is third in tackles for the First Academy with 24. He’s also one of two players who has recorded an interception.
Odem has time to blossom as a defensive back after also playing wide receiver at the high school level. It is yet to be seem what Odem’s ceiling really can be under collegiate coaching.
