Arizona State Director of Football Video Alex Hodge was named the 2018-19 Pac-12 Conference Video Coordinator of the Year by the Collegiate Sports Video Association, as was announced Feb. 24.
Hodge was selected by his peers in the Pac-12 to receive the honor, and is now a finalist for the prestigious Bob Matley National Video Coordinator of the Year award, which will be announced at the annual CSVA banquet on May 15 in Anaheim, Calif. The Bob Matey award is presented to the video coordinator who displays innovation, determination, perseverance, and technical skill as portrayed by the Bob Matey, legendary video coordinator from Texas A&M.
Hodge enters his 22nd season working in the college football video field and his eighth with Arizona State University. In his time with the Sun Devils, Hodge has been responsible for managing the football video department. Hodge and his staff provide daily video and technical support to the football coaches and staff. They oversee the acquisition of practice and game video for player evaluation as well as various productions.
Hodge began his video career at Illinois State University, where he graduated with a bachelor's in communications in 2003. A native of Hoopeston, Illinois, Hodge learned and studied videography under mentor and longtime local media instructor Dan Reed.
Following graduation at Illinois State, Hodge joined the University of Wisconsin athletic department in 2003 as an assistant video coordinator, a role he would hold for three years before being named video coordinator for Rice University in 2006, under the direction of former ASU head football coach Todd Graham. Hodge went on to join Graham at the University of Tulsa in 2007, where he helped many of the department's sports transition into the era of digital video exchange. Hodge made his last stop at the University of Pittsburgh before joining SDA in 2012.
Hodge reunited at ASU with longtime colleague Dan Wayne, and together they have established Arizona State's video department into one of the most well-respected programs in the country. The two were responsible for the design of the state-of-the-art video lab in the Carson Student Athlete Center, which includes a 60-station XOS digital network.
Hodge has been a member of the Collegiate Sports Video Association since 2000.
