Eron Hodges has developed a reputation as a top figure in recruiting and personnel over the last several years.
He was at Purdue as the director of player personnel while new Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer was at Indiana as the Hoosier's offensive coordinator.
Now the two are set to work together in Tuscaloosa.
Sources confirm to FootballScoop that Hodges is joining the Crimson Tide staff as associate director of player personnel.
Matt Zenitz has shared the same.
Hodges leaves a role at TCU, where the position was designed to help him get more involved on the coaching side of things, as he held defensive analyst control responsibilities in addition to being the recruiting coordinator for the program.
Before leaving for the TCU opportunity, Hodges helped the Boilermakeres pull in the highest rating recruiting classes in decades.
Prior to landing the Purdue job, Hodges was assistant director of player personnel at Ohio State, where he quickly worked his way up in one season after starting as a recruiting staff analyst.
He brings coaching experience at Kent State, Valpo, and Saint Joseph's (D-II - IN) with him to the role.
