Starting to get a bit of #SpringFever around here & with Cade Stover taking his official visit to tOSU this weekend there may be even more good news upon the horizon on top of Garrett Wilson announcing his intentions next week after his Texas official visit this weekend.

A LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Ohio State lost a key member of its recruiting department on Friday night when it was reported that assistant director of player personnel Eron Hodges had accepted a job as the director of player personnel at Purdue. He confirmed his departure on Twitter on Sunday afternoon.



The 33-year-old Hodges served as director of player personnel Mark Pantoni’s right-hand man since being promoted from his position as a recruiting assistant in December 2016. It marked his second stint with the program, as he was also a strength and conditioning intern from December 2012 until he left to take a job as a graduate assistant coaching the linebackers at Kent State the following summer.

Hodges primary role was to communicate with recruits, assist with their campus visits and watch film to identify prospective offer candidates. He was instrumental in the Buckeyes’ late add of Texas three-star wide receiver Ellijah Gardiner in 2017.

“He’s the one who actually found Ellijah just searching through names,” Pantoni said on National Signing Day. “We started showing [head coach Urban Meyer] some of these receivers that we had found, and Elijah was one of the guys we were very interested in and figured we needed to get to know.”

Hodges — who helped the Buckeyes land two-consecutive second-ranked recruiting classes — also oversaw a walk-on program that reeled in a pair of three-star wide receivers who turned down scholarship offers from programs such as Cincinnati, Iowa State and several Mid-American Conference schools.
