athletic Will linebacker with speed, pop, and coverage upside
Hood is a former top high-school recruit whose game is built on **speed, quick diagnosis, and striking power**, giving him the profile of a modern Will linebacker rather than a pure stack-and-shed thumper.[2][1] Michigan’s roster lists him at **6'1"** and EA Sports College Football 26 gives him a **74 overall** at Will Backer, which suggests a useful but still developing contributor rather than a finished star.[1] The main question is pass coverage consistency, but his physicality and reaction skills make him a compelling fit for a defense that values range and downhill urgency.[2]
