Cody learned his football skills very early in his life from his father. “Just about everyday he would take me out in the backyard to play catch with him. My first Christmas present was a football. I think the loudest fan at all my games would have been my dad. I could hear him no matter how loud the stands were. He always made me raise my hand when I could hear him.”
Cody was a four-year varsity player. He played both offense and defense. His freshman year he was given the Iron Man award for having been the hardest worker in the weight room. Cody was the team captain.
Cody was also a three-year starter in baseball and an all conference out fielder and was team captain. He also threw the shot in the spring for the track team.

And finally I thank all my coaches, Scott Cuthrell, Josh Stern, Rich Jane, and Joe Langenburg for all the support they gave me over the years.”
