Elijah Hodge brings veteran linebacker chops and high-IQ toughness to UNI
Elijah Hodge’s most visible UNI tie is his 2009 season with the Panthers, when he finished as the team’s fourth-leading tackler and carried a reputation for dependable, inside-out physical play. He later earned a strong Big Ten résumé at Wisconsin, including 11 starts and 67 tackles in his sophomore season, which speaks to his consistency, football IQ, and ability to handle responsibility in a serious defensive system. If you want a linebacker who knows leverage, discipline, and how to fit within a team-first defense, Hodge is the kind of name that checks the boxes.
