Temuchin "Bucky" Hodges Jr (born August 8, 1995) is an American former professional football tight end.

During his freshman season, Hodges, who was listed at 6'5", focused on his speed and lowered his 40-yard dash time from 5.3 to 4.6 seconds.

In a playoff game victory over rival Ocean Lakes High School, completing 21 of 27 passes for 211 yards with two touchdowns as eight different receivers caught at least two balls.

In a narrow loss the next week to Oscar Smith High School, Hodges completed 18 of 23 with one touchdown.

[3] CNU's 28th Annual High School Captains Classic was where he helped the 4 × 400 metres relay team finish at 3:41.15.

Super Prep also regarded him as the state's fifth-best player while 247Sports considered him to be Virginia's seventh-best athlete and the fourth-best dual-threat quarterback in the country.

He improved those numbers in spring testing, posting a 325-pound bench press, a 400-pound front squat, a 315-pound power clean and a 300-pound push jerk.

During winter workouts, Hodges impressed his teammates by running a 4.46-second 40-yard dash and posting a 38'5" vertical jump, numbers that were fifth and third on the team, respectively.

He recorded 45 receptions (the most ever for a freshman tight end at Tech) for 526 yards and scored seven total touchdowns (six receiving, one on special teams) on the season.

The following week, he scored a touchdown in his first career start, finishing the Ohio State win with two catches for 21 yards.

In the Hokies' win over Duke on November 15, he scored the eventual game-winning touchdown on a 15-yard reception to start the fourth quarter, finishing the game with six catches for 57 yards.

He had four receptions for 39 yards at Wake Forest the next week, becoming the single-season leader for catches by a tight end under coach Frank Beamer as his four grabs surpassed the previous mark of 38.

His efforts earned him freshman All-American recognition by USA Today and third-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) selection by ACSMA.

After the season, on December 30, a day after the Hokies' 35-24 come-from-behind win against Arkansas in the Belk Bowl, Hodges' father, Temuchin, confirmed his intentions to enter the 2017 NFL draft.

[19] He was the second Hokie off the board, joining safety Chuck Clark, who went earlier in the sixth round to the Baltimore Ravens.

[20] He was the first offensive player selected from Virginia Tech since quarterback Logan Thomas (now a tight end) went to the Cardinals in the 2014 NFL draft.
