New Alabama Basketball assistant Bryan Hodgson’s transformational life

In a still-young college basketball coaching career, new Alabama basketball assistant, Bryan Hodgson has garnered attention. As part of Nate Oats’ Buffalo staff going back to the 2015-16 season, Hodgson quickly gained a reputation as a strong recruiter.

Hodgson is very good at building relationships with recruits and players. He relies on his own story of adversity, overcome by love, to build trust. His message to recruits is about much more than basketball. It is about hope, discipline and following your passion in life.

Bryan Hodgson’s parents are not his biological parents. Born to a 15-year old mother, social services placed Bryan in foster care at the age of 18 months.
