Snippet from VolQuest:
SCOUTING REPORT
“Tee is a perfect combination of size and speed. He’s got a great pairing of those two traits. He’s a hard worker and one of those kids you have to run out of the weight room. He’ll be a great player. The numbers speak for themselves. He’s (gained) the weight and hasn’t gotten any slower in our times. In fact, he’s gotten a little faster. He’s gotten bigger and maintained his speed, and probably gotten a little quicker. With this size now, his durability will be better. He has high expectations for himself. He’s added really good weight.”
Although some schools were recruiting Hodge as a versatile athlete, capable of playing tailback or linebacker, Tennessee has long viewed Hodge as its answer to a bigger tailback. With a downhill, one-cut system, Hodge should fit right in with Jim Chaney’s split-zone run game.
