***Huge Juco DT Terrence Cody commits to Bama***

[RunBamaRun]

TC makes Andre Smith look like Lowe..... I can't wait to see this monster in action...... Run up the middle, I dare you..............

Reminds me of the Marty Lyons quote, "you'd better pass"!:biggrin:

First: I rea---hehehe----lly wished Saban would sign DT with size, and not shrimps like Cody and Fluker.

Second: Atleast there are players that could use Cody as a shield to block out the sun. I mean my god, the moon called, he wants Cody out of his orbit.

Third: Man-Beast. The Thing. The Incredible Hulk (or Bulk) should be suitable names for a not-so-average BIGGGGGGGGGG man.

CNS has said if he signs a JUCO player it is because he thinks he can contribute right away. I have never heard of anyone using a red shirt year in JUCO, so I would guess he does have a red shirt year available if he were to need it.

With him commiting to Bama, I am sure that he is in good enough shape for CNS and staff. If not now at least on track to achieve good enough shape by the time he reports this summer or his commitment would not have been accepted. I was skeptical that Bama would sign Cody because it seemed he was just too big to be in CNS type of shape. Obviously I was wrong about that.

Didn't Nikita Stover use a redshirt year in JUCO?

Get real..............this man is not red shirtting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly. We need help now on the interior D-Line. We run out of 3-4 which means we need two starting caliber DT/NG, with a backup who does not force much of drop off, in case of injury.

This is pure speculation, but I think with the loss of W. Gilberry, we may see this years starting soph. NT, L. Washington, move into the rotation at DE, allowing Mr. Cody and the 3 Freshmen we currently have at NT compete for time at that spot. I should note, I think Washington did a stand-up job this year, especially considering he is undersized to play the NT position.

Lawdy, Lawdy son....... That makes the 3 front look better than it has all year. I bet this big un' wont give ground and he will be able to work upfield against most SUVs much less linemen. Bet you have to double team this one. If he prepares and gets in "game shape" this will be one of my favorite pick ups of a already great class.:biggrin:

Didn't Nikita Stover use a redshirt year in JUCO?

Well I guess he did. He sat out his second year and concentrated on graduating CC. He came to Alabama with three years of eligibility.

Redefining Commitment

Everyone agrees there’s no time like the present for Stover. He looks solid. He wasn’t a part of the Itawamba junior college football team this past year, a plan that enabled Stover to maintain three years of eligibility at Alabama while finishing his required coursework. He is classified as a sophomore at UA.

Tide gets commitment from JC standout

Cody chose Alabama over scholarship offers from Auburn, Florida State, Tennessee and Ole Miss.

The 6-foot-5, 385-pound prospect recorded 31 tackles and 3.5 sacks this season. His team finished with an 11-0 record.

Alabama lands junior college lineman

Terrance Cody, four-star defensive tackle from Perkinston-Mississippi Gulf Coast, (Miss.), committed to the University of Alabama. The 6-5, 385-pounds prospect will take an official visit to Tuscaloosa the weekend of December 7, the biggest recruiting weekend of the year.

Cody will graduate in May and enroll in June at the Capstone.

Could the staff have accepted Cody's commitment because they think that KM is in trouble academically at Hargrave?

Could the staff have accepted Cody's commitment because they think that KM is in trouble academically at Hargrave?

Sure, OR they could have accepted it because he is a BEAST. Because he is a HUGE run stopper, and with/without KM, he is still a gap filler in the run defense. If KM is in good shape academically, that would be a BIG one two punch on the D-line.

My only concern is that with this guy's size, we might have to use 2 scholarship slots to sign him. It's a hidden clause in the NCAA bylaws commonly referred to as the "airline ticket rule.":wink:

 

[TexasTideFan]

If he just falls down at the LOS, he cloggs 3 running lanes.:biggrin:

LOL at that. Seriously, even if he isn't the most athletic dude out there, it will take 2 O-Linemen to block him because of his size and that's exactly what we want in a Nose Tackle.

 

[Denisevi4]

In fact, at this size he cannot even fall, he can only roll.

Roll Tide ! literally

someone bust out the photoshop.... take the picture of DJ Hall and Andre Smith jumping up in the endzone. Replace DJ with Mr. Cody.... Lets see what we can get.

 

[TexasBama]

I think we now know where the line of scrimmage will start and end.

We haven't had a d-lineman with this size since Anthony Bryant.

He'll do fine on his weight. The staff will get his carbs cut back.

Good article with a lot of personal facts from his hometown. I like the fact that Cody has trimmed down to 375 with a goal of playing at 350 next season. Apparently he is in fairly decent shape with lots of running and weight lifting. The article says he plays fullback in short yardage situations.

Riverdale grad Cody becomes JUCO star

Recently, Cody was named the No. 1 junior college recruit in Mississippi. He's a first-team All-American and was named JUCO Defensive Lineman of the Year.

Trimmed down to 375 pounds, Cody is an every-down player for a defense that only allows 83 rushing and 139 passing yards per game, best in the country. Double- and sometimes triple-teamed, he has 31 tackles, including five for losses, along with 3.5 sacks.

"We have good, hard practices and do conditioning to be in shape," said Cody, who'd like to get down to 350 next season. "I came in the summer and did a lot of running and lifting. I also did extra running. I'll also wake up and jog a mile."

That's what you call a big 'ol boy. Welcome!

 

[Crimson Surfer]

I have been meaning to post that after watching his Scout video I am pretty impressed. He is not the big sluggish type that stays in the middle of the field near the center tangled up or on the ground. He gets after it and actually sheds blocks. At one point he "takes" a center in what looks like a lift up and shove motion back five yards and bounces him off the QB. lol I seen two plays where he actually chased down the RB from behind. Obviously the RB was juking and jiving but the point is he stayed after it and was in on the tackle. He actually runs to the ball very well. OBTW you can not miss him in the videos because of his extreme size.

 

[TDBama78]

if he survives sabans s&c program he ought to be a good one. he needs to shed some serious weight
