One of the leaders of Ohio State's recruiting department is headed elsewhere in the Big Ten, according to a report from Football Scoop.

Eron Hodges, who has served as Mark Pantoni's right-hand man since being promoted to assistant director of player personnel in December 2016, is reportedly headed to Purdue to become the Boilermakers' director of player personnel.

As our Andrew Lind noted on Twitter, Hodges played an instrumental role in recruiting walk-ons to Ohio State, while also assisting Pantoni and the coaching staff with recruiting scholarship players.
