Quotes
Cody Gribble
I'm feeling pretty good. It hasn't really sunk in yet. I was on the outside of the fence last year so it was nice to have a few things go my way. It's been a roller coaster this year. I was playing great, and then I missed a lot of cuts. I was looking forward to playing this week and improving my number, but everything worked out the way it was supposed to work.
Texas Head Coach John Fields

It was a great day when Cody committed to be a Longhorn and it is a great day today as he begins to chase his dream. He is fully capable of having a tremendous career on the PGA Tour.
