As a recruit, Hood was a blue-chip offensive tackle prospect in the class of 2022. He was rated 4-stars, the No. 14 Tennessee product, No. 36 offensive tackle and No. 426 prospect overall on the 247Sports Composite.
Hood, listed at 6-8, 350 pounds, enrolled at UGA in January 2022 but had ankle surgery prior to the start of spring practice. He took a redshirt for the Bulldogs’ 2022 national championship campaign, giving him 4 remaining full seasons of eligibility for 2023 and beyond.
Matt Rhule’s Huskers have now picked up 3 Dawgs from the transfer portal. Hood joins MJ Sherman and Arik Gilbert in going from Athens to Lincoln via the portal.
