YOUR FREAKISH RECRUIT OF THE DAY: TERRENCE CODY
We normally wouldn’t highlight a 3-star recruit, but in Rivals’ case we think they have it wrong: Terrence Cody is a four-star recruit on size alone, quality be damned. Something that big just needs four stars, agile or not. Cody, a juco defensive lineman out of Perkinston Gulf Coast Community College, may be the first who lists “plate tectonics” and “controlling tides” as hobbies. He stands 6′ 5″ and weighs 395 pounds, meaning he’s a steak dinner shy of 400 pounds at any given moment.
Provided he stays with his verbal commit to Alabama–and we pray he does, since sudden movement could have an impact on water supplies and the gravitational/magnetic fields of the earth, and that means no internet for ten minutes NOOOOO–nicknames will be necessary for Cody. We suggest Antarctica, Galactus, and Saturn, and salivate at the thought of the world’s first 1-5-5 defense.
Wanna know what Cloverfield is about? Spoiler! It’s about Terrence Cody’s eight grade trip to New York City.

He’ll need a suitcase that can hold two midgets.

So, theoretically, what would happen if Tebow was running a sneak (the unstoppable force) and ran into Terrence Cody (the immoveable object)?
I think we now know how the big bang started…

the kid in the movie mask (Eric Stoltz) is named Rocky Dennis.
And yes, he looks just like him.

Cody’s still awaiting clearance from the NCAA, they contend that he counts as two scholarships instead of one, the University is appealing.

Damn, this guy is definitely one of the hugest beasts to hit the gridiron since Gilbert Brown manned the middle of the d-line for Green Bay.

Looking for a nickname? I have a few suggestions.
Since this dude is the size of an average American dwelling, I think “Condo” Cody has a nice ring to it.
Or, since any land mass that large should probably have it’s own post office, I offer “Zip Code” Cody, or just “Zip” Cody.
He looks like a funky fellow and is as large as a 4H Fair prize winning bull, so his rap name should be Moo Ko Dee (”Moo” Cody )

On his video, he is listed at 6′8″, 375. Which really changes very little about this thread.

I knew we’d get to the point in “college” athletics when a student-athlete’s weight would exceed his SAT. Sort of like shooting your age in golf. Congrats, Cody.

Unfortunately for Cody, the 6′5″ is about 4 inches generous while the 395 is spot on.

Hope he ends up at USF so we can all, you know, laugh.
I don’t think they make singlets in his size.

Unfortunately, Saban won’t have time for 100 lbs. of his shit, and he will be reduced to normal size for an OLineman.
