When watching his junior college highlight tapes, Alabama head coach Nick Saban found just what he was looking for in Terrence Cody.
“We watched his freshman tape, we watched his sophomore tape,” Saban said. “We look for guys like Terrence Cody who are nose guard, power guys. And he certainly was that.”
As a 6-foot-5, 365-pound beast of a 3-4 defensive tackle, Cody has anchored Alabama’s No. 2 rush defense in only his first year with the Crimson Tide.
The current weight of the junior college transfer seems rather small, however, when compared to his old self. Coming out of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College earlier this year, it was rather generous to use 400 pounds to describe Cody.
“The question was would we be able to manage his weight so that he would be able to sustain performance and get in the kind of condition he needed to be in to play to his capacity,” Saban said. “He’s done a good job of that; he’s working hard at it and he’s maintained a weight where he can be an effective player.”
