Northwestern HC Chris Collins on 4-star freshman Jayden Hodge following a torn ACL in early January:
“He has aspirations to be out there at the start of the season… Right now, he is not cleared. He has not been practicing, he’s able to do some light stuff.”

Things I love to read @Aaron_Bracy …
Matthew Hodge has leaned on @NovaMBB assts JayVaughn Pinkston & Ashley Howard. “Getting back on the court for some basic ballhandling skills while seated in a chair or shooting drills with a straight leg….. has been hugely helpful.” 💪
“He'll add to a versatile bench that also includes Hodge, who Willard said is tracking toward being ready for the beginning of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL in March.”
Great article by Jeff, it sounds like Villanova could be full-strength Nov. 1 in Rome.
Four-star 2026 Northwestern signee @Jaydenhodge33 tore his ACL in December and had surgery in January. Yet his rehab is going so well he plans to be ready for the start of the Wildcats’ season next fall.
