LOS ANGELES, California – Former Prairie View A&M wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge made another big play for the Los Angeles Rams during Saturday's preseason game against Oakland.

Hodge made a leaping 47-yard catch in the second quarter with a Raiders' defender in coverage. The drive ended with a Rams' field goal.

In the third quarter, Hodge caught a 10-yard pass that led to another Ram field goal in the 19-15 win. Hodge finished the game with two catches for 57 yards.

Last season for the Panthers, Hodge earned first-team All-SWAC honors, as well as Black College All-America accolades from both BOXTOROW and SBN/Power News Radio Network. Hodge was third in the SWAC in both receptions (48) and receiving yards (844), second in yards per catch (17.6) and first in touchdown receptions (12).

In his last seven games of 2017, he caught 39 passes for 746 yards and 11 touchdowns, posting three 100-yard receiving games and four multi-TD receiving games. Hodge broke Otis Taylor's 53-year old single-game receiving yards school record with 232 yards on eight receptions and three touchdowns vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Nov. 11. In his three-year career, Hodge caught 104 passes for 1,797 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Hodge, who caught an eight-yard scoring pass in the preseason opener at Baltimore, now has four receptions for 71 yards and one touchdown in two preseason games. The Rams return to preseason action next Saturday, August 25 hosting the Houston Texans.
