Didn't some TN guy just go to Colorado?
Looks like he's a gamer

second trade this month. The front office has been busy

Looks like he was scheduled to be Travis Hunter replacement at CB. Seems like a quality add.

“Just the culture and the history about it,” Hood said. “I mean, they got a lot of great players to come through here and just the culture. And also I like the genuineness of the coaches. Coach Heupel, coach ET, coach Banks, coach Martinez, all of them. I mean, they’re just all genuine. I just really like what they had to say about the university.”

Tennessee targeted Hood the moment he entered the portal. They see a player who can blossom at Tennessee with three years remaining...“They said they think I’m very versatile,” Hood said. “I mean, I’m also really athletic. They said they think I’m really athletic. I agree. Like, I think I’m probably one of the most athletic guys in the portal and in the college game right now. I also think, that taking their coach, I could be one of the best in the country.”

Volnation is an interesting paradox:

"I hate this free agency with guys transferring all the time. No loyalty. It's ruining college football...."

Upon picking up Colton Hood, who will be on his 3rd school in 3 years, "Great get....."

 

[HalfullVol]

In Hype I trust

 

[smokeycoonhoundUT]

Definitely a need and seems like a good pick up

The old saying, "It's better to give than receive" doesn't apply here.

 

[VFL9798]

He seems like a one year guy chasing the money. 3rd stop going into his third year. Well make good use of him

Gonna change my name here to Hood4Heisman!

This is a home run pickup by Heupel and co. Future NFL draft pick in a position of need. Colorado fans are pissed. Y'all should be so excited. What's goin on?

 

[valoisvol]

Why do they always say how many years left to play. That means absolutely nothing in today’s college game. Here today, gone tomorrow.

 

[patrick]

Wonder if brother, Brandon Hood, will accompany Colton to TN.

I still feel it is destroying college sports PERIOD. It has removed the term VFL from the list once they transfer. No athlete at UT should ever be called a Vol For Life, unless they at least end their career here.

Future NFL draft pick says who exactly????? Quite a statement for corner who had a total of 24 tackles this past season.

Is the number of tackles the metric that defines high level corner play?? Don’t answer that. It’s a rhetorical question.

Using a rhetorical question to respond to an inquiry directed to another poster who claimed the player is a future NFL draft.... interesting.....

Making note of 24 tackles when the reigning Heisman winner/ #2 pick in the draft had 32 last year. Interesting.

What is puzzling is all the vitriol for Thomas, "He's just chasing money" "Eff him" "They'll go anywhere for 50 more dollars" etc

but not a word about Colton Hood hopping from Auburn to Colorado to UT, certainly not loyal to any team and likely getting a nice pay bump to come to Knoxville.

"We needed to get rid of that mal content" Thomas while we need a serial hopper like Colton Hood.

While we'll be "all in" on him as long as he's here, as soon as he leaves he'll be part of ruining of college football again. It's comical.

Oh so you just want to be miserable. Got it. All Colorado fans are PISSED. He's a corner. Corners don't get a lot of tackles. Btw here's him defending the #4 pick in the 2025 nfl draft.

Does he pass the eye test?

Absolutely yes.......

Ummmm you actually want your corners to have a low amount of tackles. If they’re getting a lot of tackles then they’re giving up a lot of catches…..
