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 will 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 team 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 important.<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 second 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 grades and graduate. I know now that I m not invincible . . . no one is. <br>Paul has developed some strong convictions as a result f 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 world 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. I look 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 A#;)jO;o'b9JTbY}IfZleb;UV4Rrv'8̥U@P; H ldN6?$*zЁ60<_2ش𛨂r֫1ZOd:KȢ!i.u?%\`]6:\2kt>*~n:_J6ުg5]U+kV|7Om9[ ׫G]H.6!y+H.h7L+JQ.yl|`լaHi+Q}ka%12s)Lc([p:m%zmf[ ! ǖʧŁ 6գDHk7ff6p:$*Dw^+Bw8*kW4 Z}֠QB gE4}ztaXsl[ǾG`y0si))Wv/4EV7ZjP+B"я4"́.#F]ԟ"V$US3WM<4<8r $5X~?KȓPC w-/.
