Elijah Oden Elijah Oden 6'4" | 210 lbs | EDGE Opelika | 2027 State AL is a talented EDGE from Opelika who helped his defense a ton this past fall.

“Oden is a dominant run defender who thrives off his ability to quickly read and react to what opposing offenses are doing. He’s incredibly disruptive, almost immediately flying downhill to fill in gaps and create stops down by the line of scrimmage.

Oden can also play against the pass at a high level. He’s a valuable blitzer who can heat up and force the QB into bad decisions, and can also drop back into coverage and create stops. No matter what’s going on, you can count on Oden getting involved. He’s a really impressive piece of this Opelika defense.”

Oden’s coming off an impressive season, he recorded 44 total tackles (1 for loss), 3 PBUs, 1.5 sacks, and one FF.

I think Oden could have a big season next fall. He’s a talented defender with lots of room to grow and develop. Be sure to check out some of his tape below:
