6’1″, 245 lbs.
Senior

Hodge is a 4-year senior and two-time All-MAC linebacker who ranked second in the nation in tackles in 2017 with 154. He was named to the preseason watch list for the 2018 Chuck Bednarik Award.

Pros:
– Nose for the football
– Excellent in coverage
– Strong upper/lower body

Cons:
– Lacks great speed
– Small school/conference
– No combine invite

Khalil Hodge is projected to go between the 3rd and 5th rounds. Without a combine invite it might be hard for him to move up much from there. Look for him to be drafted mid to late 3rd. His tape alone is intriguing.
