Dobson High School's Kodi Justice will be a junior this year.
Wow, time flies.
He has been through a season-ending injury and a coaching change already. Only Tra Holder and Austin Witherill are still around from his freshman season of 2014-15, so Kodi already has hit a few curveballs. He has had to prove himself to two head coaches, including one who only had a half of season of video to go by as he returned from injury.
No worries, he reveals in here he is overcoming dyslexia (and embraces talking about it knowing it can help someone else), wishes he could have been at the 1987 Rose Bowl and says he wants to visit Ireland. Here are over 50 quick questions and answers with Kodi.
If you could have dinner with anyone from any era, who would it be and where? Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania.
