Freshman Cowboy Back Baron Odom Tears ACL
Oklahoma State escaped bowl season with a relatively clean bill of health all things considered, but the trip to Orlando, Florida, wasn’t without its lumps.
Per a source close to him, true freshman Cowboy Back Baron Odom, a 6-foot-5 pass-catcher from Wynnewood, Oklahoma, suffered a torn ACL in bowl practice that (obviously) sidelined him for the remainder of the trip and for the foreseeable future.
Odom was a late addition to OSU’s 2017 recruiting class who came in at 210 pounds, but per the source he’s already up to 242 pounds — an indication that he’s been grinding and taking advantage of his redshirt season as he gears up to contribute in 2018.
Odom began ACL rehab the day after he suffered the injury (while he was still in Orlando), and while the injury’s an absolute bummer, he’s still expected to return before the start of the 2018 season.
Odom’s suffered several injuries before and has returned earlier than anticipated more often than not. If the same goes for his 6-to-8 month recovery timetable on his ACL tear, he could be back with a full release sometime in July.
