Overview

  • Hodge reopened his 2026 recruitment after an official visit to Michigan, has an official to Oregon this weekend, and is working on a Texas visit next month.
  • He told recruiting outlets his focus is on Michigan, Oregon and Texas, with Missouri no longer expected to receive an official visit.
  • Before stepping back, he was Michigan State’s highest-rated 2026 commit according to the 247Sports Composite.
  • The decommitment comes days after four-star receiver Tyren Wortham also backed off his pledge, further tightening the Spartans’ class.
  • Evaluations differ, with Rivals ranking him No. 170 overall and No. 9 among linebackers in the Rivals300, while the Rivals Industry Ranking lists him No. 348 overall and No. 25 at linebacker.
