Kansas State TE Cody Small brings developmental upside and academics-first reliability
Cody Small is a **3-star**, **No. 48 tight end** prospect in 247Sports’ rankings, and Kansas State labels him a young tight end who earned more playing time as a sophomore[1][4]. The appeal is projection: he offers the profile of a developing TE with room to grow into a bigger role, while his First Team Academic All-Big 12 recognition points to the kind of dependable, coach-friendly makeup teams like[4]. If you want a tight end with upside, structure, and room to be molded, he’s a worthwhile watch[1][4].
