Consensus four-star Jayden Hodge was offered by Rutgers basketball on Monday. They join a recruitment that features several big offers for a player who is fast becoming a national recruit.
Hodge is ranked the No. 23 player in the nation by Rivals. The class of 2026 guard plays for St. Rose (Belmar, New Jersey) and is the second-best shooting guard in the 2026 class according to 247Sports.
He is a 6-foot-5 guard who can easily run an offense but has an impressive inside/outside game on offense. A solid defender, Hodge is dynamic in the open court.
Rutgers joins a recruitment that includes Maryland, Old Dominion, Penn State, St. Bonaventure, Seton Hall, Temple Villanova and Virginia Tech among others.
On Monday, Hodge posted on social media about his Rutgers offer.
