Codey Funk returns for what could be his final season as Wildcat, although ACU is appealing to the NCAA for another year of eligibility in 2016. Regardless, Funk should be one of the top offensive linemen in the Southland Conference in 2015. He’s already earned pre-season all-America accolades from USA College Football and is a first team pre-season all-Southland Conference selection.

2014 (Junior): Funk started all 12 games of the season at left tackle and performed well enough to earn second team all-Southland Conference honors in his first year in the league. Funk helped ACU finish sixth in the Southland Conference in scoring offense (32.8 points per game), sixth in total offense (437.2 yards per game), seventh in rushing offense (161.8 ypg), and third in pass offense (275.3 ypg).

2013 (Heartland CC): Attended Heartland CC but did not play football.

High School: While at El Paso-Gridley HS, Funk played both tight end and offensive tackle his senior year in high school, earning all-conference and all-area honors. That same season, he had a team-leading 80 tackles from his defensive tackle position, and he caught 19 passes for 497 yards in six games at tight end. He scored 11 touchdowns (8 receiving, 3 rushing) that season. He was also a standout basketball player, finishing his career with 1,934 points and 1,200 rebounds (he averaged 22 points/12 rebounds his junior year). He was a three-time first team all-conference selection in basketball. Funk was a third team all-state selection in basketball as a senior, and was an all-area pick as a freshman, sophomore and junior.

Personal: Son of Mark Funk and Michelle Higgins. 2011 graduate of El Paso-Gridley High School. Born 08 August 1993.
