Ball State’s Massive OL Prospect, Not DE
There is no verified college football player named Cody Smith who plays defensive end (DE) for Ball State. ESPN and CBS Sports confirm Cody Smith at Ball State is a 6'8", 292-lb sophomore **offensive lineman** (Right Tackle), not a DE [1][3]. His only recorded defensive stats are 1 solo tackle with zero sacks across the 2023–2024 seasons, confirming he does not contribute on the defensive line [1]. If you’re seeking a DE for your team, this athlete is a **misfit** by position; however, if you need a **massive, physical tackle** with a 66 overall rating in EA Sports College Football 26, he’s a high-mass, low-mobility option with room to grow [5]. No injury history or personality traits are publicly documented.
