Looks like eligible to play one year, is that correct?

 

[Ohio_Cane]

I'll take all the **** DT's we can get. Get 6 more

 

[Twin_Cane]

Is he a senior?

Yep. 5th year grad transfer by the looks of it.

Looks like it: Illinois Athletics - Tito Odenigbo - 2017

 

[MizCane]

Very nice. Played in 10 games and started 4 last year. 4.5 TFL's, 1 sack and 29 TOT.

Kul will up that production by coaching. Nice stop gap player.

WE BACK

In his last game in Champaign — Saturday’s 42-7 loss to Northwestern — he was ejected for throwing a flag at an official. He also was suspended for a game in September for an unspecified violation of team rules.

He's a solid backup. Definitely helps with depth.

I like it. Probably will be in the top 4 rotation.

Listen to The Legend. I told you guys awhile back that we'd get into the grad transfer market at DT.

This dude's a mature grown man. Might not have the talent of the freshmans we are bringing in, but he's ready to play right now at this level and has been in the mix in P5 football.

On it's own, I like adding what will probably be solid, experienced depth. That said, taking this guy means we have 1 less scholarship available for the 2018 class.

Very important pick up. Helps depth and shouldn't scare away recruits with him only having 1 year left. Solid production for a DT too. Kul could turn him into a stud.

we've had a ton of attrition... dont think this guy will impact numbers.

That's all we needed. People were fooling themselves thinking that we were fine rolling out 4 DTs on the season and won't experience any injuries. This guy may probably start over Martin.

 

[DTP]

Solid pickup. Veteran depth at a shallow position.

And there will be plenty more attrition to come.

Transfers will probably still impact this team. Before this transfer, we were bad at DT depth and this allows us to possibly RS one of the incoming freshman.

Yup, and say what you will about the BIG TEN, they usually produce great talent in the trenches

He absolutely impacts numbers. He counts against the 25 scholarships limit per year.
