Hodges, a rising junior at Jesuit High School in Tampa, Fla.,  isn’t too concerned with the position he’s labeled with. Seven offers have come in so far, from Virginia Tech, Louisville, Miami, South Florida, Kentucky, Samford and Indiana. All but the latter have offered as a tight end.

Hodges, Rivals.com’s No. 31 athlete and No. 41 player in Florida for the 2019 class, also took in a few visits over the summer. And while he’s not hurrying his recruitment along, he has a few visits in mind this fall, with an idea of a list trim.
