Hood is a tackling machine and his ability to get offensive players to the ground is special. He is able to really read and react to offensive lineman while triggering downhill quickly. His leadership on the defensive side of the ball has really carried Fruitland this season.

Hood has been at the top of the leaderboard for what seems like the entire season. A stout linebacker who is able to run tackle to tackle to make plays for his team. A strong strike that allows him to shed blocks quickly and get to the ball carrier. His ability to see the blocking scheme and fit quickly is what makes him so effective. Hood leads the state with 121 total tackles this season and should end up with north of 160 this season.

Hood is one of the top linebackers in the state, and has been one of the more productive defensive players across Idaho for the past two seasons. He checks in as a top 20 linebacker in our rankings, and just inside the top 100 overall players across Idaho. He is always around the ball, tackles well in space and has a violent play-style at the POA. In his first game, Hood had 19 tackles and 2 TFL’s, while showing good fluidity and trigger abilities in space.

Read EvaluationPaul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Hood is a downhill thumper that excels tackle to tackle, and is a strong tackler in the box that plays with a low hat and flows well to the ball over the top. He shows the ability to quickly diagnose plays and triggers without taking false steps while able to take down bigger ball carriers and does a nice job at weaving around traffic when filling gaps. He has had a tremendous three year career so far and will be one of the top tacklers in the state as we had into the 2024 season. Although a bit undersized he plays with good physicality and wins with leverage, IQ and quickly diagnosing plays.

Hood was one of the top tackling juniors in the state at the outside linebacker position where he was able to rack up 114 total tackles on the season. With his ability to really run he is able to make plays all over the field and make sure that his opponents go down. He has a high football IQ that allows him to read and react quickly along with being able to shed blockers with efficiency. He plays with a high motor that allows him to run plays down all over the field and should be setup for a big season as a senior.
