He really has an impressive maturity and football knowledge about him that stands out whenever he plays or goes to camps. I agree if his size doesnt pan out he could be a fantastic MLB based on his reads, but he'll need to get fast to be a success there. Right now he's quick but he isn't fast.

That is cool that he is a good team player, Coach Tressel loves that in kids. He sounds like a kid on my team, not the fastest guy there is, but is quick, but he is a good MLB because of his quickness and strength. I know the saying goes that "you can't coach speed" but he will definitely get faster if he runs a lot and develops. Also, it is good to have great football knowledge and have the ability to make good reads, he would be a good MLB if he can do that. My coaches put me at MLB because they like my capability to read plays and they like my football knowledge, I am not the biggest linebacker, but I am 6'0 and 200 pounds, but my coaches think I will get to 220 by the start of the season. If Codi gets around 6'3 or 6'4 and 230-255 pounds, I think it sounds like he could be a great MLB because of his football IQ.

Behind every Heisman tailback there's a fullback who nobody knows of. That is except for that running back and the rabid fans like those here at tOSU!
A young mans dream of playing football changes with age but the memories are everlasting. Whether your son get too big to run with the ball or not, there is always room in Columbus for players who want to "hit" the other team. God bless.

Update on Codi
A quick update on Codi's progress. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend this years camp at tOSU (hoping for next year) but he did recently attend a full contact football camp at the University of Redlands in Southern Calif. There were 500 youth at the camp.
In the full contact drills he ran the ball about 20 times and averaged about 8 yds per carry.
On defense he was one of the campers who won the top defensive lineman award. Codi has pretty remarkable size and strength for a kid his age and does well at the DT position.

Wow this is awesome...It makes me wish my parents had gotten me started in football. I was 5'1" 120lbs through my sophomore year of High School. I would bug them and bug them to let me play but they would tell me I was too small and didn't want me to get hurt. But somehow they let me play lacrosse...lol. But anyways hearing and seeing that he has the talent and wants to do what the coach tells him is awesome. Keep up the good work Codi! Hopefully we see you in the scarlet and gray someday!!

I wonder if Codi could take down Cody Paul.

LOL!
I'm not sure about that, but I would love to see Codi the fullback, block for Cody the RB. Now that would be fun to watch!

Let's not get carried away, ScarletBlood31. I remember all of the kids who kicked my ass in middle school received a return favor in high school. A lot of things change during those years. I hope your kid/nephew does well scarletngray, but it's a loooooong way to the Shoe from Cali. Tell him to keep his pad level low!  |

That's Awesome! My bad on the other Codi thread - I can't access the videos at work. And I was just kidding about bad uncle-ing. Let's get both Codi/y's on the phone (maybe add RhodeIslandBuck???) - they could lead the next Brew Crew. | |
