Cole Hodge is still an upside swing at ECU: young, sturdy, and developing
Cole Hodge enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot, 198-pound sophomore quarterback at East Carolina, but he did not see game action in 2025, so the real read is on projection, not production. The appeal is physical: he has SEC-ish build-for-the-position toughness, a clean developmental path, and two more years of college runway to grow into the job. He was a productive high school winner at Christian Academy of Louisville, helping deliver back-to-back state titles, which hints at poise and leadership. If your team wants a QB with untapped traits rather than a stat-sheet star, he’s the kind of bet that makes scouts lean in.
