Cody has been playing QB for 6 years. He has played for the Dartmouth Destroyers for 3 years (pee wee, one year of bantam) then for the Dartmouth Knights for one year of junior varsity and now back with the Destroyers again. He played receiver for the Dartmouth High Spartans in his grade 10 year and will be QB for the next 2 seasons.
Chris Judd is his current QB coach with Team Nova Scotia. Before that Cody never really had an actual QB coach, just Offensive Coordinators.
When asked about this years Football Canada Cup Cody had this to say. “I am very excited for the upcoming Canada Cup. It is a dream come true to be playing at a National level and it is going to be great exposure for me not only for recruiting purposes, but also to see how I fair up against the best competition in the country. I like the looks of the team and everyone is working hard so it should be very exciting.”
While Cody is only graduating grade 10, this is his last season eligible for the Football Canada Cup as Nova Scotia use to have a September school start date, as opposed to calendar year. It has since been changed to calendar year.
