Syracuse Lands Kennesaw State Quarterback Amari Odom in Transfer Portal

The All-Conference USA passer brings two years of eligibility to contend with incumbent Steve Angeli.

Overview

  • Odom was a 2025 First Team All-Conference USA selection after throwing for 2,594 yards on roughly 65% passing.
  • He arrives with two seasons of eligibility and is expected to be a top-two option on Syracuse’s depth chart with Steve Angeli.
  • Syracuse and Kennesaw State effectively swapped quarterbacks as former Orange signal-caller Rickie Collins transferred to the Owls.
  • Before Kennesaw State, Odom played at Wofford, totaling 1,657 passing yards and seven touchdowns across nine games in 2024.
  • The transfer portal entry window remains open into mid-January, leaving room for additional moves by players who entered before the deadline.
