Nate Richam-Odoi ’20, the first Bowdoin running back to earn All-NESCAC honors in team history, was the recipient of this year’s Most Outstanding Male Athlete Award from the Bowdoin athletics department. His 830 rushing yards last season placed him fourth on Bowdoin’s all-time single-season list, and his 2,186 career yards land him the fifth spot in the Polar Bear record book. Photo: Brian Beard
