I would like to thank Jennifer Rockwood, DI Women's All-America Chair, Ryan Hopkins, DI Men's All-America Chair, and their respective committees for their efforts in compiling these lists."

Hodge's impact extends beyond individual accolades, contributing significantly to the team's historic achievements in the James Armstrong era.
Hodge's impressive Bulldog tenure includes a remarkable 73 games played, starting in 72 of them.
