After missing a majority of last season with a broken leg, University of Toledo senior wide receiver Cody Thompson wasted little time making his presence felt in his return to the field in the Rockets’ 2018 opener against Virginia Military Institute on Saturday at the Glass Bowl.
It just happened that his first impactful play came on special teams.
Thompson lined up in the middle of Toledo’s punt block formation early in the first quarter and busted his way through the VMI offensive line.
