Montana DE Commits

[uostudent]

Cody Carriger Butte, MT was the "secret" commit. Was really hoping for Castro.

Carriger is 6'6 230 and also plays TE. It came down to UW and Oregon. He also had offers from Wyoming, Montana, and Montana St.

2 DL commits already, nice start. I think Castro will be a duck when it's all said and done also.

Nice good to hear we are getting some DL's.

Runs a 4.8 40 and has a 35.5" vertical - supposed to be a terrific athlete. Also plays basketball. Good student (3.5 GPA). Could be a nice pickup. Still hoping for guys like Kaumatule, Castro, and Trace Clark.

Glancing at Google it appears he also runs track, 100 meters in mid 11's and 200 in the 23's as a junior in high school. I would think those are pretty good for a college DE.

Looking at his picture on scout, he looks like he could easily get to 250-260 and not effect his speed or athleticism. I'm guessing he will be a 3* when he gets rated.

His Scout Profile picture looks like he weighs in the 180 pound range. He has the speed so if Rad can put on the weight and strength we might have another "shot blocker" on the D-Line. I can't find any free video or stats on him. Anyone else have better luck? He obviously had an impressive camp at Eugene to get an early offer while being so relatively off the mainstream recruiting radar.

I wonder what the coaches envision for him? 3-4 weakside OLB (aka Drop End @ Oregon) or a DE?

Keep in mind, Brandon Bair was 6'7" and in the 230+ pound range coming out of high school, so Carriger has a similar body style and frame to build on at this stage of his career (if listed weights are to be believed).

But, Bair had an extra few years to grow and mature.

Cool, tall, fast and athletic, I look forward to hearing more about him.

Welcome aboard Cody!

According to Realdawg, WA really wanted him:

Montana DE Checks out the Dub, Gets Husky Offer
6/7/2011
Publisher at Realdawg.com confirmed Tuesday that Montana defensive lineman, Cody Carriger, was on campus for an unofficial visit. The Butte High School junior also received an offer from the Huskies, in addition to one other Pac-12 offer. We spoke to Carriger after his visit and here's what he had to say about it..Carriger, who's 6-6, 230 plays defensive end for Butte and was offered recently by Oregon, Montana State and Wyoming, but today he received an offer from Washington and was in Seattle to check things out.
Carriger runs the 40 in 4.8 and posts an outstanding vertical leap of 35.5 -- he also plays hoops at Butte. "I started since I was a freshman", Carriger told Realdawg.com.
Carriger lights up, however, when talking about football. Does he like playing defense?
"I love playing defensive end", Carriger said, "There's things you could you could get arrested for if you weren't playing football", he laughed.
Carriger went to Seattle with his father, Rick, "Coming out into the stadium...that stadium holds twice as many people as there are in my city. Coach Sarkisian is a great coach and real energetic, and Coach Holt has relatives in Montana -- so we struck up kind of a comfortable friendship. Coach Holt is awesome."
Carriger's father was also impressed.
"The highlight was the academic (tour), there was a buildnig we went through that reminded me of my hometown."
Carriger is a sleeper no more; he's freaky athletic.The word on the street is that Carriger is just a rough and ready lineman who plays with abandonment and has a mean streak. He's big, nasty, and has a motor. "Coach Sarkisian said that's why they're recruiting me, you don't ever quit."
He was all state last year and has tons of explosion for a big DE. The 35 and-a-half vertical he posted at the Dallas combine is just flat out sick. All those ingredients make Carriger a future Sunday player, without a doubt.
He is hoping to go into physical therapy -- which could definitely help the Dub's case. Carriger has an excellent GPA (3.5)
We're going to call him the "Montana Mauler".
Right now Carriger isn't sure when he will make a decision, but he really enjoyed both visits to Washington and Oregon, "I don't want to name a leader or anything."
Once again, if you're good -- the Husky staff will find you. When it's all said and done, Carriger be a big contributer at the next level.
