Wednesday, Rutgers released an offer to a 6-1, 205-pound sophomore who comes from a good pedigree. St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.) linebacker Cody Simon is the brother of Shayne Simon, a class of 2018 Notre dame safety signee, who Rutgers also recruited. However, the staff is hoping for better results this time around.
Cody is built very similar to Shane, athletically and rocked up throughout their frames. And if you look quickly enough, you can easily mistake Cody for his big brother. But its what Cody can do on the field that earned him an early offer from Maryland last year, as well as one from Rutgers Wednesday.
