Two years before Cody Conway committed to Syracuse as a three-star offensive tackle, he learned to play the position.
As a freshman at Plainfield North (Illinois) High School, Conway played for the freshman “A” and “B” teams. In the first game, he played tight end and defensive line. In the second game of the day, he stayed on the field and played his second position: Quarterback.
Conway remembered his team ran one pass play. Standing slightly above six feet tall as a freshman, Conway rolled out to the right side and searched for a receiver. If the first option wasn’t open, he’d tuck it and run.
