The Sun Sentinel has a great interview with Miami commit, and Al Blades Jr.’s cousin, 3-star CB Justin Hodges. In it, they touch on the pressure of a family legacy, who he’d compare his play style to, and his favorite Cane of all time.
The Sentinel also looked at the addition of Ousman Traore to the roster, as well as 2021‘s top-ranked kicker, and newest Miami commit, Andres Borregales.
