4-star PF Nic Codie commits to Texas

Nic Codie, a four-star power forward in the class of 2024, has committed to the University of Texas. 

The 6-foot-8, 200-pound senior out of Carrollton (Texas) Newman Smith chose the Longhorns over a final group of Auburn, Houston, Miami, LSU, Virginia Tech, and TCU. 

“I chose Texas because it felt like home,” Codie said. “Great team with great coaches who show me love more than anybody. Why not be great in your home state?”

In his own words, what type of player is UT getting in Nic Codie?

“I feel like my game is recognized as a versatile forward who can defend multiple positions, find mismatches inside, space the floor out with the three, and finish can create for my teammates. Also a big leader on the floor.”

He has a message for Texas fans. 

“All I have to say is let’s work Longhorn nation.”

According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Codie is the No. 45 overall prospect in the 2024 cycle. He’s also the No. 7 power forward prospect. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. On3’s evaluators are slightly higher on Codie, ranking him 34th nationally.

Scouting Report

“The upside of Nic Codie is so intriguing. Standing in the 6-8 range with a reported 7-2 wingspan, you like the way he moves. This gives him upside on the defensive end, with the fluidity to slide his feet and the length to get in the passing lanes and rotate on the block. Offensively, he is crafty in the paint. He has a quick, off-cadence release from 15-feet and in and he is confident with a jump hook or floater with his right hand. While the ball skills are still raw and he will need to continue working on the balance and footwork, he shows the ability to step out and knock down a three. That potential spacing the jump shot would provide is a nice added bonus to his game. There is a lot to like here, and Codie is younger for his grade. His dad, Nakia Codie, played defensive back in the NFL.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
