The award was just more icing on a marvelous senior season – as well as an outstanding four-year career in State College – for the 6-5, 305-pound Odrick. A conistent performer inside, Odrick recorded six sacks and 41 tackles for the Nittany Lions in 2009.

 Earlier, Odrick was named the Big Ten Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year and Defensive Lineman of the year. Odrick has also been invited to compete in the prestigious Senior Bowl game, which will be held Jan. 30, 2010 in Mobile, Alabama.

 Odrick and the Lions are expected to learn their post-season bowl fate on Sunday.
