PISCATAWAY -- Is Rutgers redshirt senior defensive end Julian Pinnix-Odrick developing into a late-blooming Big Ten star in front of your eyes?
Teammate Darius Hamilton seems to think so.
A three-time academic all-conference selection, Pinnix-Odrick is finally putting up the production to match his valuable intangibles. He has eclipsed his career high in sacks and is more than halfway to his career high in tackles after three games.
I caught up with Pinnix-Odrick to discuss graduate school, the influence of his older brother and adding star to his role as a leader.
