Year: Freshman
Height: 5’8"
Weight: 167
Hometown: Homestead, FL
High School: South Dade
2013 Stats: Was an All-Dade County selection in 2012 and 2013. As a senior last season, Cordy helped lead South Dade to the Florida Class 8A State Championship. He finished his high school career with 15 interceptions and 180 tackles.
2014 Projections: Cordy is listed third at left cornerback on the depth chart, which might indicate that he will redshirt his freshman season.
How'd He Get Here: Antwan opted to play at Syracuse despite offers from Duke, Georgia Tech, Hawaii, Marshall, and Minnesota. He was recruited by George McDonald.
What'd Recruiting Sites Say: Rivals and Scout each give Cordy a two-star rating.
Money Quote: From an interview with South Florida High School Sports:
"The Florida boys got that talent...It’d be great to have all the Miami boys come to Syracuse."
We agree, Antwan, we agree. Next up: Convincing them to trade South Beach for snow.
Links Of Wonder: Cordy was the first player in the class of 2014 from Florida to sign with Syracuse.
