Ofodile, 42, starred at tight end for the Tigers in the early 1990’s, earning first-team All-Big Eight selection in 1993 for Mizzou. Ofodile was also a three-year letterman from 1991-93 and finished his Tiger career with 73 receptions for 851 yards and six touchdowns. Following his college career, Ofodile went on to play in the NFL. His coaching career dates back to 2001, when he served as the offensive coordinator under Odom at Rock Bridge high school from 2001-02. Ofodile would eventually replace Odom as the school’s head coach in 2003.

“I’m very excited to have A.J. joining our staff, he will be a huge part of our entire program, and specifically our recruiting efforts,” said Odom said in a release.  “I have tremendous respect for A.J. as a person and as a mentor and I’m excited for how he will represent our program and university.  He cares deeply about Mizzou, and shares a lot of the same beliefs that I have on building Mizzou into a championship program.”
