Khalil Hodge
will now prepare for the cold East Coast winters and Mid-American Conference
(MAC) competition, as the City College of San Francisco linebacker announced
his verbal commitment to the University of Buffalo on Wednesday, Dec. 9.
The
6-foot-2, 240-pound Hodge took a trip to his future campus and said he
immediately became drawn to Buffalo.
“Buffalo
just felt like the right fit,” Hodge said. “Everything that I want to accomplish
academically and athletically is available to me at Buffalo. Also, being able
to leave in January was another intriguing opportunity that I just had to jump
on.”
Hodge is set
to enroll for Buffalo’s spring semester in January, which will allow him to
participate in the Bulls’ spring practices as he fights for a starting position
on defense.
In 12 games,
Hodge tallied 67 tackles and intercepted two passes, returning one of them for
a 31-yard touchdown during the Rams’ 44-7 rout of Diablo Valley College on Oct.
31.
Hodge - who
was the state’s leading tackler during his senior year at Stockton - St. Mary’s
in the 2014-15 season - held one other scholarship offer from the University of
Idaho.
The Bulls
finished 5-7 overall this past season and went 3-5 in the MAC. Hodge has one
last game left with the 11-1 Rams: the Saturday, Dec. 12 CCCAA state title game
against Saddleback College.
