TJ Hodges brings Arkansas a home-state speed threat with four-star juice
TJ Hodges is a 2026 Arkansas signee and consensus four-star running back who entered Fayetteville as one of the nation’s top RB prospects, with rankings ranging from No. 18 to No. 25 at the position and as high as No. 2 in Arkansas. In the 2025 season, he showed usable receiving value and steady production for Bryant, and reports rave about his cut-on-a-dime change of direction, breakaway speed, and standout testing numbers — including topping Arkansas’ team speed chart at 22.19 mph in May 2026. If your team wants an explosive, homegrown back who can stretch the field and create chunk plays, he’s your guy.
