Congratulations to Cody on this outstanding achievement!

Editor’s Opinion:

As soon as the playlist and finalists were announced, I knew that this had to be the winner. The pop that he got for his return still gives me goosebumps, and before his injury, he was on track to have an incredible run in 2022. I have no doubt that he will beat his pectoral tear and will make 2023 the best year of his career!
