JACOB HOOD
Hood, who plays at Hillsboro High School in Nashville, Tenn., said a few of Tennessee's coaches contacted him "right after midnight" Tuesday morning. Offensive line coach Will Friend, wide receivers coach Tee Martin and Pruitt "all hit me around the same time," Hood said.
The 6-foot-8, 350-pound Hood, who recently reclassified from the 2021 class to 2022, said he also heard from Baylor, South Carolina, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech and Maryland were among the other schools that made early contact with him.
Hood has received an offer from Tennessee in June and now holds offers from at least nine schools, including Texas A&M, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Kentucky, Baylor, Georgia Tech and Arizona State.
He has yet to be rated by 247Sports and in the 247Sports Composite.
