Why Cody chose Utah Tech: "I chose Utah Tech because the coaches seemed to be giving me a great opportunity to continue playing at the highest level possible and not go somewhere that I wasn’t going play. St. George is amazing to see and experience. It also gave me an amazing opportunity to start a new chapter in life.”
