Week 5 Stats: 10 tackles, 4 solo, 0.5 TFL, 1 INT, 5 INT return yards
O’Donnell recorded a career-high 10 tackles, including four solo and 0.5 for loss, against Norfolk State on Saturday to earn NEC Defensive Player of the Week honors for the first time in his career. Helping the defense hold the Spartans scoreless throughout the entire second half, the graduate linebacker went on to seal the Pioneers’ 31-14 win after returning an interception in the fourth quarter. O'Donnell is the second Sacred Heart player in as many weeks to earn NEC Defensive Player of the Week honors as Ernest Howard earned the award on Sept. 26.
