Approaching from the east on Highway 19, the Maysville Grain & Fertilizer Company is the skyline that says you’re arriving in the hometown that forged Barry Odom.
Back in the day, the complex was Walden Seed and Feed, a name that evokes a reminder of some inspiration for Odom’s journey forward.
Growing up in this town of just over 1,200 people in just under 2 square miles fewer than 35 miles from Norman, Odom was smitten with University of Oklahoma football. Courtesy of family season tickets (“Section 19,” he rattles off, “row about-30”), one of his fondest memories is shagging pre-game kicks in the stands at Owen Field.
