College career
A native of Compton, California, Hodge played two years of football at Los Angeles Valley College, where he was also a long jumper on the track and field team. In 1979, Hodge emerged as an option quarterback at Utah and became a starter midway through the season. As a senior in 1980, he played wide receiver and caught 44 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns.

Professional career
Hodge signed a free agent deal with the Atlanta Falcons in 1981. However, he spent the entire 1981 season on the injured reserve list. Hodge caught two touchdowns in his debut, a preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings in August 1982.

Hodge was cut by the Falcons in August 1985 after the team had acquired receiver Charlie Brown in a trade with the Washington Redskins. "I started counting receivers, and I knew something was up," said Hodge.
