Hodge is by no means a secret and is ranked highly for good reason. The sophomore wore the jersey during Assumption’s run to the Class 3A state title in the fall. She stacked up 448 digs and produced 79 assists during 92 sets, playing some of her best volleyball when it counted most. Despite the position as one of the state’s best at the position, I felt compelled to write about her again after an in-person scout at the 2026 Nike President’s Day Classic in St. Louis. Hodge performed wonderfully against some heavy hitters in the Open Division. The task was made more difficult by the infrequency with which she’s attacked after opponents realize that’s not a winning formula. Most of the chances are when attackers feel like have a decided advantage, meaning it ball will be humming. Sharp reflexes, quickness and a awareness give her a chance to get the ball up to the setter no matter what.
