Hodge commits to the Deacs

Wake Forest landed an almost in-state commitment on Friday from Catawaba Ridge (SC) athlete Andre Hodge. Hodge committed as a cornerback shortly after landing an offer from Wake corners coach Paul Williams earlier this week. Hodge is the second corner commit in the Deacs relatively smaller 2022 class where one of the biggest needs for high school targets was the corner position.

"I really liked the atmosphere at the college and the energy the coaches had, "Hodge said of why he committed. "It seems like the perfect fit for me."

Hodge felt the love from the Deacs staff after making his decision.

"They seemed just as happy as I was about my commitment and they were excited to have me on board," he said.

Coach Williams had been recruiting Hodge prior to his offer for a while so it was not totally unexpected when Wake Forest went in on him after seeing him in person for the first time this year.

"My relationship with coach Williams is pretty good. We were communicating for a while before I got the offer from them," he said.
