Record Setting WR Cody Bruns is a Huskie

Washington got beat Saturday by Washington St in the 100th match-up between the interstate rivals. In Cody Bruns mind, it played out a bit differently. The Huskies got the better of the Cougs this time. Bruns had offers from Boise St and Oregon St as well.

The Prosser High School (Prosser, WA) wide receiver is not a big target at 5-11, 175 lbs. His numbers, however, are huge. The little guy set a NATIONAL record for career receptions in high school with 304 catches for 5080 yards and 72 touchdowns.

Oh yeah, Prosser matches up with Burlington-Edison for the Class 2A Washington state championship this Saturday. National records and a state title, not a bad way to go out.

How Cody Bruns ranks:
Rivals: #99 WR nationally
Scout: #34 WR nationally
ESPN: #100 WR nationally

Cody Bruns, despite his diminutive frame and inferior athletic ability, is a great pick up for the Huskies. He has great hands and consistently catches the ball away from his body. He attacks the football with a very natural feel. He lacks all-around speed and athleticism but he makes up for it with good "football" speed. Speed that translates on the field not in a combine. He is a classic over-achiever. One can never have enough over-achievers on their roster.

Wes Welker is a solid comparison. This kid will put up huge numbers with Jake Locker.
