Iowa State landed its first commitment in the 2013 class on Friday afternoon, as quarterback Trevor Hodge (Perris, Calif./Citrus Hill) pulled the trigger. Hodge visited Iowa State last weekend and left with a very positive feeling about the school and program, but wanted to sit down and discuss the decision with his family before announcing his intention.
"I went out there and loved the stuff they were offering," Hodge said. "I fell in love with the system, the scheme, the coaches, the facilities and the academics."
Hodge said he jumped at the chance to become the first commitment for Iowa State in large part because of the staff's decision to recruit him solely as a quarterback. The 6-foot-1, 186-pound signal-caller was recruited as an athlete by many programs, but said only the Cyclones approached him initially as a quarterback and never wavered from that position.
