Rome Odunze came to Washington as a four-star recruit in the 2020 class, and as a former Gatorade Player of the Year and state track champion in Nevada.
He left with the Huskies’ single-season receiving record, and as a potential top-10 NFL Draft pick and one of the most popular UW players of the modern era.
Ahead of his appearance in Indianapolis for this week’s NFL Combine, I spoke with Odunze for an exit interview about his UW career, Kalen DeBoer’s departure for Alabama, the national championship game and more. Questions and responses have been lightly edited for length and clarity.
