A Nebraska football class of 2026 was named a finalist for the Navy All-American Bowl Defensive Player of the Year award. Cornerback Danny Odem had a tremendous junior season, recording 45 tackles, two interceptions, three pass deflections and a fumble recovery for First Academy in Florida.

Odem was also able to contribute with five receptions for 40 yards. The Huskers will certainly benefit from his playmaking ability and athleticism. The defensive back will certainly be a starter sooner rather than later, and could be a cornerstone of the secondary for years.

In the meantime, he’s receiving additional praise before beginning his time in Lincoln. The awards ceremony is scheduled for January 9 and the game is scheduled for January 10.

The coroner has established himself as one of the best at the high school level and now has the opportunity to put the finishing touches on a great school career.
