Scouting Report: Strengths
- He's infinitely coachable and athletically gifted with the ideal frame, physique, weight distribution, knee bend and hand strength to be molded into a special blocker.
- Shows a good feel for combo blocks, and Hodges displays good quickness and flexibility when moving to the second level, capable of sealing the back side on reach blocks
- Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire.
- Awareness is above-average for his limited experience. Sells trap block and can turn to seal. Fluid getting to and adjust at the second level.
- Displays good awareness when it comes to reading moving bodies, effectively reacting and adjusting. Hodges also shows a good feel for combo blocks.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Finesse blocker with average arm length who doesn't use his hands well to win at the point of attack.
- Good upper-body strength but must improve his core strength. Better suited to a zone-blocking system because of his athleticism.
- Hodges seems too focused on winning with his hands, too often stopping his feet. Hodges also plays with poor balance in the run game, lunging into contact rather than sinking his hips and delivering a block.
- Plays with poor balance, doing too much reaching and lunging when his initial punch is ineffective. Trying to mirror against quickness will be a problem for him.
