Hello, my name is . . . Cody Sokol

[Harry]

Winter hit Iowa just as the new junior-college quarterback and former Fighting Artichoke landed in Iowa City in mid-January.

But it’s OK, Cody Sokol was born in Des Moines and lived there through elementary school. Plus, he’s signed his national letter of intent and will begin his career with the Hawkeyes this semester, so there’s no turning back now.

Sokol, 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, had seven offers, including Arizona and Maryland. At Scottsdale Community College — yes, the Fighting Artichokes — Sokol threw for 3,807 yards, 43 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He earned first team all-region, first team all-conference and second team all-America.

Iowa’s pro-style offense attracted Sokol. Yes, his numbers at Scottsdale last season suggest “sling it,” but he knows pro style is what would give him the best chance to play in the NFL.

“We were air raid and shotgun, not a whole lot of play action,” Sokol said. “I like to throw the ball. I feel like I can make plays with my feet, but I want to pass.”

Iowa looked at Sokol when he was a senior at Desert Vista High School in Phoenix. He ended up going junior college after suffering a a broken foot the third game of his senior season.
