The Leading Authority of the NFL Draft

School Bio

1.26.09 – Hodge clearly loves to hit. He blew up Frank the Tank Summers, lowering the boom on a hit that resonated throughout the Sun Bowl, and he seemed to be lining up would be victims on most plays. - Draft Guys On Location at the Texas vs. The Nation Game

12.23.08 - No one made more impact plays than senior safety Stephen Hodge, who turned in a team best 11 tackles. Hodge was most effective when called upon to blitz. He recorded a big sack of Moore and delivered a devastating blow on another quarterback pressure (Moore is one tough cookie). Hodge also knifed in on a run blitz and stopped the ball carrier for a two-yard loss. In the open field, he delivered a big hit out on the flat and turned in three tackles for a loss in the contest. On one of the Broncos’ trickeration plays, the safety displayed his discipline and instincts, sniffing out an end around and making yet another solid open field tackle. Hodge showed his great closing speed covering Ian Johnson on a screen pass, allowing him nothing after the catch. This kid was all over the field…he even made a nice special teams stop. His final big play came on an interception late the game, which ended any hopes the Broncos had at pulling out the win. - College Football Insiders Poinsettia Bowl Notes
