Odden Named to HON First Team Offense and Defense

Cumberland football senior Max Odden has been named to both the HON First Team Offense and Defense for the 2026 season. The only other Beaver receiving first- or second-team recognition was senior Brody Gilbertson, who was named to the second-team defensive unit despite playing in only one conference game due to injury. Gilbertson was a first-team selection as both a sophomore and a junior.

Odden did a little bit of everything for the Beavers this fall. He punted 28 times for a 41.2 average, led the team in tackles with 79, intercepted one pass, rushed for 52 yards on 19 carries, and caught 13 balls for 356 yards and five touchdowns. He was the heart and soul of the Beavers each week as several of his teammates missed games with injuries. He himself missed one contest.

In Gilbertson’s three games played—two non-conference and one HON contest—he had 33 tackles, including seven behind the line. He also rushed 11 times for 46 yards.
