Former Oak Park and River Forest High School Athlete to continue football career at Northwestern University

Tom Odell’s commitment to Northwestern University was a decision he knew would shape more than just his college career, but the foundation for his next forty years. His determination to play football at the collegiate level led to his decision to join NCSA Athletic Recruiting, an exclusive recruiting network that provides student athletes with the opportunity and technology to be proactive in their recruiting process. Not only did Tom have the tools he needed for the recruiting process, NCSA also educated him on the steps he needed to take to achieve his goal.

Tom has demonstrated the true meaning of “student-athlete.” Earning a 4.00 GPA, Tom has worked hard to match his level of success in the classroom to his success on the field.  He plans to major in physics at the university located in Evanston, Illinois.

Hard work and dedication on and off the field has given Tom the opportunity to play football and get an education at Northwestern University.

Tom’s self-motivation and trust in the recruiting process has rewarded him with the opportunity to play football as a Northwestern Wildcat and earn a meaningful degree that will allow him to succeed in the future.
