I'm assuming he didn't make it in the league. Anybody know what he ended up doing with himself? I liked this kid, I remember him trucking the frick out of some boys in the Virginia Tech or Clemson game a few years ago.

The Cody 5 play to beat AU in 2009 and the way he trucked that VaTech DB will be long remembered by Bama fans.

It is amazing how all these clean-nosed kids manage to fail drug tests at various SEC schools AFTER college.

Saban kept him in line. Once the best disciplinarian in college football had no say he picked up bad habits.


















That's my story and I'm stickin to it

The trucking video LINK ... but yeah, I always wondered what happened to him as well. He looked like he was a sure thing for the NFL while at Bama.

Everyone smokes pot. Certain schools dont test for it, much less have people brave enough to leak the results. Deal with it

I never heard that. I heard that he failed the physical, but not because he failed a DT.

I think the drug part is added BS. He had some vertebrae fused due to his injury. The NFL didn't want to take a chance. I think most doctors told him it wasn't a good idea.

His dad owns a restaurant in Tuscaloosa. I think he helps run it.

While you look for that, also look for some punctuation. Thanks.

Watch the pre-game highlight video if you have the balls to come to the beatdown in Tuscaloosa this year and you'll see that this isn't true.

this is what I remember. It was because he had had neck surgeries/issues.

ETA: last I knew was that he was very involved with church and the ministry.
