He joins Anthony Walker Jr. — who went in the fifth round to the Indianapolis Colts — as the second Wildcat taken in the Draft.
A Centerville, Ohio native, Odenigbo finished his college career with 23.5 sacks, good for second in program history. He will likely play primarily on passing downs for the Vikings.
