Hodge named to Jim Thorpe Award Watch List
July 7, 2008
OKLAHOMA CITY -- TCU safety and preseason All-American Stephen Hodge has been named to the watch list for the 2008 Jim Thorpe Award, honoring the nation's top defensive back. Hodge was tabbed earlier this summer by Dave Campbell's Texas Football as the Best Defensive Back in the State of Texas. He also appears on the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy which recognizes the nation's best defensive player. A senior from Tatum, Texas, Hodge had eight sacks last season to lead the nation for defensive backs. He was an All-Mountain West Conference pick while also being named to the All-Texas College Team by Dave Campbell's. Hodge placed second on the Frogs in sacks, tackles for a loss (10.5) and pass break-ups (seven).
