Camps are great for two things, one is seeing the prospects that you like on film in person. The second is when you see someone that you haven’t seen before show up and impress everyone and put himself in the spotlight.

Paulsboro (N.J.) safety/linebacker Gerald Hodges started impressing everyone as soon as he walked in the door at the Holiday Inn.

Hodges was then out to prove to everyone that despite his size, he was athletic enough to play safety. The first game out, Hodges picked off a pass and ran it 35-yards to the house.
