Donte' Hodge brings disruptive, backfield-hunting play to Norfolk State's linebacker room
Donte' Hodge has shown the kind of **impact-play upside** that coaches covet at linebacker: in his Norfolk State career he posted a career-high **8 tackles**, **2 tackles for loss**, and **1.5 sacks** at Morgan State, plus **6 tackles** and **2 quarterback hurries** in a finale outing, signaling a defender who can affect both the run game and the passer.[3] His value is in his **physicality and disruption** more than flash, making him a good fit for teams that want a linebacker who plays downhill, pressures the backfield, and brings consistent intensity.[3]
