Flipping from Bucknell to Georgetown shortly before Signing Day in November, Cody’s name has skyrocketed up my board ever since he popped onto my radar late in the game. Having been battle-tested in two of the nation’s very best high school conferences, Cody was lights out with Loomis Chaffee in the fall and has had an excellent postgrad season with the Pelicans. A quick-handed technician who is precise with his counters and tough in scrums, Cody uses his athleticism to his advantage after he wins the ball. Although Georgetown seems to be in a favorable position with Ross Prince only a rising sophomore, Cody will provide much-needed depth to the Hoyas’ face-off unit, though it wouldn’t be a shock to see him vie for reps early.

A graduate of Roxbury Latin (Mass.) who recently changed his commitment from Bucknell to Georgetown, Cody was another big-time pickup for LC head coach Bill Ball, given that the Pelicans graduated an All-American in Hopkins freshman Joe Hobot. Twice earning First Team All-League honors, Cody is battle-tested from his time in the ISL and won 64.5 percent to go with eight goals and seven assists as a senior.

He’s exceptionally technical at the X and is heady in terms of the way he’s able to adjust and counter his opponent, something I thought he did well in the first two matchups against Division I commits. He’s got an ideal frame and can make things happen with the ball, often making quick work by going forward. Hobot was such an X-factor because of what he could do after the draw, and while it may not be a 1-for-1 replacement in terms of offensive ability, Cody looked more than capable of handling the load. From what I hear, he also had a big day on Sunday at the Atlantic Coast Showcase, helping Loomis claw back from a halftime deficit to beat St. John’s.
