Wake Forest High School linebacker Darius Hodge, who committed to N.C. State last June, is considering signing with Marshall instead.
Hodge said that if he were to sign with Marshall, he could red-shirt his freshman season while he brought up his grades. At N.C. State he would have to go to a junior-college first.
He said he will announce his decision Wednesday on National Signing Day.
Hodge helped lead Wake Forest High School to a 4AA state championship this season. He was voted the game’s MVP after posting 17 tackles and two blocked punts in a 29-0 shutout of Greensboro’s Page High.
