New position, no knee brace, Julian Pinnix-Odrick tosses caution to wind for Rutgers football

PISCATAWAY – As he makes the adjustment to a new position, Julian Pinnix-Odrick couldn’t ask for a better resource at his disposal than a Rutgers football teammate whom he is as close to as a brother.

But he has one – in addition to roommate and close friend Darius Hamilton – nonetheless.

Pinnix-Odrick’s older brother made the same switch – from defensive end to defensive tackle – at the same time in his life and became a first-round pick in the NFL Draft out of Penn State.

Hold the phone! It's a case of a @PSUFootball grad helping a @RFootball player with a position switch.
