9 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Finds end zone in loss Hodges tallied six carries for 24 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 38-32 defeat to North Dakota State.

Impact Hodges was questionable coming into Saturday's contest, but the senior would ultimately suit up and log his second touchdown in two games this season. Overall, Hodges has logged 12 carries for 96 yards to start the year in a crowded Air Force backfield.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play in Week 2 Hodges (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against North Dakota State.

Impact Hodges is no longer questionable for Saturday's game, meaning he's an option to see work out of the backfield. He'll compete for touches with Rocco Conti and Jalen Rashad Turner behind the starter, Owen Allen, so it remains to be seen just how much of a workload he'll handle.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Hodges is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against North Dakota State.

Impact Hodges showed some burst in the opener, taking six carries for 72 yards and a score. It's unclear what's hindering him and Friday's participation should be a good indicator of whether he'll end up being able to play or not.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone in opener Hodges totaled six rushes for 72 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 34-0 win over Duquesne.

Impact While Hodges only totaled six carries Saturday, the fullback finished the day with the second-most rushing yards on the team while opening the scoring with a four-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Hodges appears to have earned a role in a crowded Air Force backfield after he rushed for 207 yards and three touchdowns on 49 attempts last season.

Air Force opens season with 431 rushing yards in 34-0 win over Duquesne

Quarterback Liam Szarka had two rushing touchdowns and 17 players combined for 431 rushing yards in Air Force’s 34-0 season-opening win over FCS-opponent Duquesne

SEPTEMBER 5 • Associated Press

Listed as backup FB Hodges is listed as the backup fullback ahead of Saturday's season opener against Duquesne, according to Air Force's Week 1 depth chart.

Impact Hodges is projected to be involved in Air Force's triple-option offense this season as he switched from quarterback to running back this year. He was used primarily as a rushing option for the Falcons last season, recording 49 attempts for 207 yards and three touchdowns, so he should be set to be a part of the ground attack Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Splits reps in finale Hodges ran the ball 14 times for 87 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 42-21 win over Colorado State.

Impact While Josh Johnson got the starting nod Friday, Hodges would ultimately share reps under center. While he didn't attempt a pass, Hodges would make an impact on the ground, rushing for a season-high 87 yards and punching in his third touchdown. Overall, Hodges saw action in seven games this season, completing 6-of-14 pass attempts for 74 yards while rushing for another 207 yards.

Not starting Friday Hodges is not the starting quarterback for Friday's game at Colorado State, Brent Briggeman of The Colorado Springs Gazette reports.

Impact Hodge will cede starting quarterback duties to dual-threat junior Josh Johnson in the Falcons' final game of the season. Hodges could still see some action against Colorado State, but it's unlikely he'll be utilized heavily.

NOVEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

50 rushing yards in loss Hodges completed 1 of 5 passes for five yards during Saturday's 20-3 loss against New Mexico. He also had 20 rushes for 50 yards.

Impact Hodges was announced as Air Force's starter with Liam Szarka (arm) unavailable for the remainder of the season. The offense couldn't get anything going all day against New Mexico, and Air Force quarterbacks completed just two passes between Hodges and Josh Johnson. Those two will likely continue to trade off in Week 14 against Colorado State.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting quarterback for Week 13 Hodges will be the Air Force's starting quarterback Saturday against New Mexico, Brent Briggeman of The Gazette reports.

Impact Liam Szarka (arm) is out for the 2025 Air Force season's remainder, leaving them without a starting quarterback until it became public that his role would be taken over by Hodges. Despite his main position being running back, the quarterback has attempted nine passes this season, getting a total of five completions for 69 yards.

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Significantly bigger workload Hodges notched 10 carries for 62 yards during Saturday's 26-16 loss versus Connecticut.

Impact Behind both Owen Allen and Dylan Carson, Hodges logged the Air Force's third most carries. For 2025, Week 12 saw him triple his number of rushing attempts, from five to 15. Ideally for Hodges, that leap remains a constant, but it looks unlikely if the Air Force re-acclimate to regularly using quarterback Liam Szarka for carries in Weeks 13 and 14.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Hodges (undisclosed) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Boise State.

Impact Hodges is set to make his season debut after having been sidelined due to an undisclosed injury. He rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries for Air Force last season and will look to have an increased role across the remainder of the current campaign.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Saturday Hodges (undisclosed) is not in uniform ahead of Saturday's season opener against Bucknell, Brent Briggeman of The Colorado Springs Gazette reports.

Impact Hodges will be sidelined for Air Force as they start the 2025 season against Bucknell. The 6-foot fullback turned quarterback rushed for 74 yards and a score on 19 attempts last season. Hodges will have his next opportunity to appear against Utah State in Week 3.
