A native of Lagos, Nigeria, Odiye graduated in Communications in 1982.
The Dons midfield is very strong although manned by three sophomores; Roar Anderson, Godwyn Odiye and Eric Visser. Odiye is the most spectacular of the three. Last year he went on a seven- game scoring tear before being sidelined with a fractured sternum. If he can recapture his tremendous ability to move forward through the defense and maintain it through the season, he may become the best player in the nation.
