Staying another year in Blacksburg let's make history!!! #hokienation pic.twitter.com/H7iWDHLDED— bucky hodges (@Bucky757) January 13, 2016
Hodges was the third-leading receiver for the Hokies in 2015 with 40 catches for 530 yards and 6 touchdowns. He figures to be an important part of the Hokies' offense. Previously, Justin Fuente spoke with Hodges about his future but did not explicitly try to recruit him back to VT. Apparently Bucky liked what he heard from Fuente, and coupled with his draft board grade of "stay in school," Bucky will be returning.
Commence celebration.

I would imagine that CJF told him in their conversation something along the lines of "I have some big things planned for you in our offensive system next year.... PLEASE DON'T LEAVE!"
I hope he puts in Ford type work and has a breakout season for him, me and everyone else. This could be the wake-up call he needs to realize the NFL does not pay as much for potential as they do for results. That is not to say he has not been working on his game, I would hope he has been, but I've never heard coaches site him as an example of outworking his peers.
Why have none of you Internet "artists" done a 2016 hype train photoshop yet!?!?!
