NASSAU, Bahamas – In the latter part of his career at Huron High School, the scholarship offers simply were not coming in for University of Toledo senior receiver Cody Thompson.
Lightly recruited as a fairly successful high-school quarterback, Thompson had some initial meetings with UT coach Jason Candle and Tom Manning who were both assistant coaches for the Rockets at the time, but nothing in the form of an offer.
That quickly changed when Thompson had a good showing at a Friday Night Lights Camp at Toledo, after which he was immediately offered a scholarship. That offer from Toledo was the lone scholarship on the table for Thompson.
