POSITION: OG
SCHOOL: Boise St.
ARM LENGTH: 33 1/4″
HANDS: 9 5/8″

Overview

The native of Kenya has been impressive over the past three years when healthy, displaying pro-caliber footwork and a solid anchor in pass protection while earning All-Conference honors the past two years (second-team in 2014, first-team in 2015). However, Odhiambo (pronounced AH-dee-AHM-bo) has not been able to start more than nine games in any season due to injuries (he broke his ankle in this season’s ninth game). Still, whether he serves as an undersized tackle or proves strong enough to move inside (like former Boise State LT Daryn Colledge), Odhiambo has starter-quality skills.

It is safe to say that Daniel Adongo paved the way as the first Kenyan ever to ever play the sport but since he’s not playing it anymore, Reese Odhiambo has taken the torch from him only to put new standards and Heights in the game as he puts Kenya in the map of that sport as he keeps playing for the Seattle Seahawks.
