76 Days Cody Creason

Post by ANGCatFan »

76 is an open roster spot so we will look at one of the new players.

Creason is a 6-4, 270, Freshman lineman from Folsom HS, Folsom, CA. Prep Star All-West All-Star on a state champion team, Creason was named the region's lineman of the year.

Here is a good breakdown on Creason from AZ Desert Storm written on signing day:
Cody possesses great height (6'4'') and weight (285lbs.) and yet, still has room to grow with his already thick build. Creason demonstrates excellent agility and lateral quickness, as he's able to deliver knockout blocks while pulling and trapping from a difficult tackle position. Showing great effort with downfield blocking, Creason manhandles smaller, hopeless defenders in the 2nd and 3rd level of any defense; always following through to the whistle. Creason, additionally, shows good hand placement and punch as he is able to mirror most pass rushers allowing the QB to work his magic.

Nevertheless, at times, Creason can lose form trying too quickly to dismantle his opponent and setting his pad levels too high. Creason needs to learn to sit low in pass protection, as he relies too much on his strength and agility against smaller defensive lines. But, like most, these technique issues will not be of any concern as they are easily fixable with the Arizona coaching staff. While Creason played his high school career as an OT, a switch to OG will benefit him and his ruthless playing style.


77 is also Montee Ball's record for career rushing TDs set for Wisconsin from 2009-2012.
