Todd Hodne was arguably the most deadly predator in college football history.
In a statement to a parole board, John B. Collins, who prosecuted one of Hodne’s offenses, wrote, “I have been a prosecutor for nearly 30 years.” “I’ve prosecuted serial killers and cases involving the death penalty.”
He added, “Todd Hodne is still one of the three most dangerous, physically imposing, and merciless human beings I’ve ever encountered in court.”
In private, his victims revealed their ordeals. They revealed a portrait of a time and a place, a portrait of a football program and its coach, and a portrayal of a horrific predator known as “the All-American kid” came from that, from the sheer span of lives transformed and wrecked.
