Just days after winning the NIT Tournament, Xavier sophomore point guard Dwon Odom has entered the transfer portal, he tells On3.

“I want to start off by saying thank you to Xavier’s coaching staff and all the fans for a great experience thus far.
Even though there was a big change with our staff, we were still able to focus on the ultimate goal and I’m thankful we were able to win a championship together.

“I will always cherish the great moments we had being on that court together but I ultimately feel in order for me to reach my fullest potential on the court, there has to be a BIG change! With that being said, after conversations with Coach Miller and my family, I have decided to enter the transfer portal and reopen my recruitment! Thank you Xavier Nation for the countless support,” Odom said in a statement to On3.

Odom averaged 6.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists while shooting 58.4% from the field this past season for the Musketeers. As a freshman, Odom averaged very similar numbers — 6.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists.

In the 2020-21 season, Odom had an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.11, which was the best in the Big East conference.

Coming out of high school, Odom was ranked as a four-star prospect and 67th nationally in the class of 2020. He also received scholarships offers from Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Virginia, among others.
