Odom added two touchdown passes in the second quarter, including his longest pass of the day on a 59-yard strike to Bryce Chambers, who caught both of Odom’s second-quarter TDs. He added another midway through the third quarter, and he threw two touchdown passes in the fourth. His last, a four-yard toss to Matthew Holthus, made Odom the NAIA’s top scoring quarterback in the 2025 regular season with 41 touchdown passes, and tied Holthus for the NAIA lead in touchdown receptions with his 17th of the year.
