Official visit recap for Georgia OT transfer Jacob Hood
Nebraska recently lost Stanford offensive tackle Walter Rouse to Oklahoma, exposing one of the biggest holes on the roster at tackle. Days later, Jacob Hood announced his intentions to transfer from Georgia, and the 6-foot-8 and 360-pound Hood was on an official visit to Nebraska on the heels of Georgia winning another national championship.
“I am on the plane right now,” Hood said. “The visit was great. I have been in Nebraska since Thursday night.”
Nebraska has been the only official visit that Hood has taken. He did have another official visit set up.
“I was supposed to go to Ole Miss, but I didn’t make it. Nebraska is the only official visit I have taken.”
That is significant because Hood says that a decision is coming, soon.
“It will be soon,” Hood said. “I plan on making my decision around noon tomorrow, my time. I am headed back to Tennessee right now.”
There is opportunity for Hood at Nebraska
Hood said that he really liked the facilities that Nebraska was building, but what he really enjoyed hearing was that there was an opportunity to win the job in Lincoln.
“Everything is open,” Hood said. “Nebraska told me that all of the spots are open and that they are looking for the best possible players to win those spots.”
Nebraska officially begins their classes on Monday. There is a week for late enrollees to still register and begin classes.
Hood graduated high school in 2022 from Nashville (Tenn.) Hillsboro. He was a three-star recruit according to On3, the No. 34 offensive tackle in the nation, and the No. 17 rated player in the state of Tennessee.
