What Butler is getting in Bo Hodges: 'Position-less' player with passion

INDIANAPOLIS – You might remember those “Bo Knows” television commercials. In 1989 and 1990, Bo Jackson played in both the National Football League and Major League Baseball.

Bo Hodges is not a dual-sport athlete, but this much is clear: Bo knows.

Knows basketball. Knows winning. Knows underdogs. Knows Butler culture ... and has not even been on the campus yet.

“Older, experienced, knows how to win, tough,” said Wofford’s Jay McAuley, who coached against Hodges in the Southern Conference. “I think that fits the Butler Way pretty good.”

Hodges, 21, a 6-5 wing, recently announced he was transferring from East Tennessee State to Butler.
