Massive homegrown tackle with a grinder’s résumé
Patrick Hodges is a New Mexico offensive tackle from Ruidoso who entered the program at 6-foot-5, 295 pounds and brought a strong local pedigree, having been an all-state guard in high school and a standout wrestler, which usually translates to leverage, balance, and toughness in the trenches. The most useful read here is fit: he’s the kind of line prospect who can bring physicality, positional flexibility, and blue-collar credibility rather than headline-grabbing flash. Publicly available current 2026 performance data is limited, so the best case for him is as a rugged, developmental fit for teams that value size and interior-line nastiness.
