If you dig around on Bucknuts, there is a picture of him from the game (with some better-known recruits from the class of 2005).

If I find it, I will post.

Could you post the photo of him in there, as it is a premium link.

You're not missing a photo from that link; it just mentions he was at the Indiana game. I didn't get any results searching the premium and recruiting boards over yonder, either.

Some of these recruits' pictures are simply amazing. On one hand you have Jamario O'Neal, who looks about 26 years old in his pictures. On the other hand, you have this kid, who looks like the biggest 10-year-old ever. I don't mean that as a dig or anything (as I'm sure he could whoop my butt), just an observation. He sounds like a good one, and offensive line is going to be a very important position for the next class, after only getting two guys this year. Does anybody know if he projects as a tackle, guard, or center?

Faulkner is the son of former Florida Gators TE Chris Faulkner. He graded out at 95% in his blocking assignments as a junior and was named all-state. Cody was named honorable mention as a sophomore. He carries a black belt in karate.

Scouting Report - Strong at the point of contact. Good short area-blocker and shows good strength as well. Adequate initial quickness. Excellent pass protector. Hard worker, rarely loses a battle when he gets hand on defender. A leader on the field. Versatile. Plays tackle in high school but I see Cody playing guard at the next level.

Summary – Road grader that’s dominant at the point of attack but struggles a bit in space. Plays tackle in high school but I see him playing guard in college where he’ll benefit from moving inside. Excellent zone blocker but needs to work on his feet, overall a very good prospect that will get plenty of attention from college recruiters.

Still listing tOSU, Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Purdue
