St. John and Odom go back before their time in Fayetteville. Out of Trinity Catholic in St. Louis, Missouri, St. John committed to Odom’s Mizzou program on July 11, 2019. When Odom was let go following the 2019 season, St. John decommitted from the Tigers. He followed Odom to Arkansas, signing with the Razorbacks on Feb. 5, 2020.
St. John redshirted in 2020, played 2 games in 2021 and made 11 appearances this past season before an indefinite suspension following a November arrest on an outstanding warrant from September 2021.
