Grambling Transfer OL Codie Hornsby Commits to Syracuse

Syracuse football has landed a commitment from Grambling transfer offensive lineman Codie Hornsby. The 6-3, 315 pounder is expected to play along the interior of the offensive line at Syracuse and has two years of eligibility remaining. 

Hornsby entered the portal at the end of February. 

"First off, I would like to give all Glory to God," Hornsby said in a post on social media regarding his decision to transfer. "Without him nothing is possible. I would like to thank Grambling State University and the coaching staff for the chance to play football at the Division 1 level and the opportunity to earn a degree. After extensive communication with all who are in support of me, I have made the rigorous decision to transfer. I will be entering the transfer portal as a grad transfer with two years of eligibility left. I look forward to seeing what lies ahead in my athletic and academic future." 

Hornsby posted on X (formerly Twitter) on March 6th that he had a Zoom meeting with the offensive coaching staff at Syracuse and he looked forward to building a great relationship with them. One week later, he committed to the Orange. 

Syracuse has looked for portal help throughout the offseason. Hornsby is the latest result of those efforts, along with transfers Joshua Miller (Georgia) and Da'Metrius Weatherspoon (Howard).
