College football

OL Hodge picks UCF

By BOB PUTNAM

Sticking with the program that stuck with him, Northeast's Eric Hodge said he will sign with the University of Central Florida this morning on national signing day.

A 6-foot-6, 330-pound offensive lineman, Hodge drew attention from Florida, Nebraska and Tennessee due to his size.

But many of those big-time programs started to lose interest because Hodge did not have a qualifying test score on the ACT until January. Once he qualified, Hodge narrowed his choices to Youngstown State and UCF.

Hodge, 18, chose the Golden Knights after coach George O'Leary came to his house.
