ESPN - Star receiver Brown top prize remaining in Tennessee - Football Recruiting

Daniel Hood, defensive end
Knoxville Catholic HS (Knoxville, Tenn.)
Considering: Auburn, Mississippi, Georgia Tech

Hood is one of those kids who could be a fan favorite. He plays with a high motor and for a big guy can do so many things to help a team. We have him listed at defensive end because of his ability, motor and build, but he could also be recruited as a blocking tight end and with some time to physically mature could also develop into an offensive or defensive tackle.

Where he lands and that team's needs will dictate where he eventually plays, but the bottom line is this is the type of kid you love to have on your team. He may not be the most athletic prospect, but his ability coupled with his versatility and effort level can help you win.

Hood has drawn much deserved interest from BCS programs. Even though he lives right down the road from the Tennessee campus, it looks like he will head out of state to play his college football. If you have not heard of him, be sure to check out his highlights because he is a fun player to watch and deserves a little attention.
