In three seasons at Harvard, Hodges has recorded 92 total tackles, 31.0 tackles for loss, 17.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and one interception. He was an FCS All-American last season and named the 2013 Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year

QB Bryan Bennett, Southeastern Louisiana (6-2 | 205 | 4.72 | #3)
An Oregon transfer, Bennett redshirted for the Ducks and spent his freshman season as Darron Thomas' back-up, waiting his turn. But he lost the starting quarterback competition to Marcus Mariota in 2012 and transferred to Southeastern Louisiana where he posted school records last season and was the Louisiana Offensive Player of the year. Bennett plays with a Manziel-like style and is rated by some scouting services as one of the top-five senior passers in this class.

DE Lynden Trail, Norfolk State (6-6 | 260 | 4.67 | #7)
A former four-star high school recruit, Trail spent two seasons at Florida, but didn't see the field for the Gators and transferred to Norfolk State. He impressed as a sophomore in 2012 before lighting up the stat sheet as a junior last season, finishing the 2013 season with 94 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and a pair of interceptions. Trail looks like a man amongst boys at the FCS level.

Red probably has a semi already thinking about the kid. Small school, unheralded prospect at a position of need, and an Ivy-leaguer to boot.
