Class of 2026 Cherry Creek (Colorado) four-star linebacker Braylon Hodge committed to the Michigan State Spartans early last summer.

But on Friday, the fast-rising 6-foot-3, 212-pound 'backer announced he was re-opening his recruitment.

And he's already got a list of top suitors.

According to Rivals, Hodge is strongly considering three - Michigan, Oregon and Texas.

The Colorado product took an official visit to Michigan last week and is set to take his official trip to Oregon this weekend for the Ducks' top-10 matchup against Indiana.

Hodge, who was also set to visit Missouri but canceled, will also take a trip to Texas at a later date.

It is noteworthy that none of the nation's five-star recruits are currently uncommitted, so many of the big pieces to the 2026 puzzle are already locked in.

That makes any uncommitted bluechip prospect worthy of attention, and Hodge's focus on three national programs makes him one of the more fascinating recruits to monitor down the homestretch.
