O'Dell was a first-team Academic All-American as a senior, one of only two Marshall players to win the award. That season, he was named first-team all-district and was the third consecutive season that he led the team in stroke average. His 74.3 mark in 1997 was by a Thundering Herd freshman record and his 75.4 career average was good for fifth in Marshall's records. Since finishing at Marshall, O'Dell won the West Virginia Amateur in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2018 and has posted several top ten finishes in the tournament. He was named the West Virginia Golf Association's Player of the Year in three consecutive seasons (2013, 2014, 2015).
