His parents came from the French speaking country of Benin which is just northwest of Nigeria in Africa.  My dad is fluent in four languages, says Paul proudly. <br>Paul grew up in Alexandria, Virginia where he played three sports at West Potomac High School. He played football, basketball and was on the track team. Paul made the All-State team as a tight end and defensive end. As a senior, he was 6-6 and 215 pounds. Paul started to lift seriously as a 9th grader and by his senior year achieved the following marks: Bench-280, Squat-350, Dead Lift-315, 40-  at least a 4.4 or 4.5. Now, at age 22, Paul can Bench 385, Squat 490, Hang Clean 319 and Vertical Jump 35 inches. He is majoring in Sports Management and Marketing and wil graduate this summer. <br>Paul came to Marshall to play football with his best friend John Cooper. It turned out to be a great decision.  We win so much that we expect it now, says Paul.  It s a good feeling to win all the time. Paul made first tea All-MAC and was named Player-of-the-Week several times at his defensive end position. At 6-7 265 with his speed and quickness, Paul is a force that is hard to handle.  But I m not big on awards asserted Paul.  The team is more importnt.<br> I believe the secret of our success is that the coaches recruit well. We give a lot of athletes a chance. Some of my teammates come from poverty or a poor background. Marshall provides an opportunity to grow up and mature. I started out not going to class but then I changed. I had reconstructive knee surgery because of an injury during the scond game of the 1998 season. I thought,  Man, I m only one play away from never playing again. It made me realize that I had better go to class, get my grads and graduate. I know now that I m not invincible . . . no one is. <br>Paul has developedsome strong convictions as a result of his experiences at Marshall.  Give it all you got in the classroom, advises Paul.  Anything you put your name on make sure it s quality. If you make a mistake, people will judge you on that. Find a role model. Mine is my dad. I have the utmost respect for him. He came to this country when he was 15 in poverty and no education. I have four sisters. One died but the other three have graduated from college or will graduate.<br> My family is the most important thing in my life. I like to surround myself with people who really care for me. I have about three friends here at Marshall that I d trust with my life. You can have all the money in the worl but it doesn t mean anything if you don t have friends.<br> Every time I come into the weight room or on the practice field, I want to get better everyday. Ilook at myself at the end of a workout or practice and the goal is to always get better. <br>Doug Hodges is from Miami, Florida and attended Southwest Miami High School. There is no way Doug should be at Marshall or any other Division I school. He is listed on the program at 5- 10 but he is probably closer to 5-8. How can he play the safety position? I mean, you d think Doug would be easy t疥s$EeYM[l7+|Ũ_?u#?V‰i 8lyGi %2b#=#9VXTQ o}jG5M;:0PiչM3N5_L\mP> N[dgq" IPsVȓ @ wQKWܘG##&Rۊ >W(@P~dlہB9&cZw=yb5CeE'8ۀ޴  ;T/$EAָ}$H+޺T]|8e{WZvv)y#:~!x|Tyf-`@ŚRRԵ]@isVxj7nGsV{x׶5L ~w& eyw]SҀ8OMaqYݘS$3a{mZ%Jq+yOʖp܋ZGާ'8C|FF' wN1M1hʹԭ䲷xb (3(@v0h[RFR׮O$c$f}"=>Ybaqu/X^Y!=42E=MVg!z-&҄D40[{Ě&H Y%DW @r<3W!&H;Pps]mё?/dLR0#lA-Mk*֪QFLZՈ@@ D^RRZ#۷*Mbwm$Z]jK4D4g{ٯ$)Xz ~ct[7&;rZdP6.:.B?jkb˷lu}!eA]:Q#D`JW7b<룠239_^LnBy:o3h|z0A%Y\4o i cNߴ嶒9>3Vi\DrҭEŒ+z_\#(ȒĐ@+rt=h"V5xy&v0"RyOv~JӼjߞdQC[]"& $#EK3j+qph
