Quenton Bode, linebacker for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, announced this week that he will be entering the DSFL draft. The news comes on the heels of Bode's standout season, which was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal season for the Big Red.
"Since the day I arrived here, I've worked hard to improve as a player," Bode said. "And I know that I've improved a lot. But I know I can get better, and the only way to do that is by going pro."
As a cub, Bode was abandoned by his mother. He was found and subsequently adopted by Robert and Martha Bode, who raised him as a human. He quickly became enamored with the sport of football, and found success on the field from a very young age. Bode started his collegiate career as a walk-on, but managed to work his way into the starting lineup during his junior year. As a senior, he was the focal point of a stifling defense, but an abysmal Nebraska offense kept the team from reaching its full potential. When asked about the failures of the offense, Bode said, "Football is a team sport. To lay the blame completely at the offense's feet is disingenuous. There were certainly mistakes on our side of the ball as well, so trying to pin this season on the offense is just wrong."
This year's draft is projected to be heavy with defensive players, so Bode will have a tough time standing out. "I give one hundred percent on every play, whether it's during practice or a game," he responded when asked about what makes him unique. "I'll bring that attitude with me wherever I end up going, and I'll expect the same from my teammates." After a pause, he added, "And I suppose the fact that I'm a fully-grown polar bear doesn't hurt."
The young star has a promising career ahead of him, and he will certainly be an impact player for whoever drafts him. When asked if he had a preference, Bode was very clear in his response: "It doesn't matter to me. Whatever team drafts me becomes my team, and I'll work my ass off to help my team win."
