I think he's going to do what Percy did his Freshman yr, be that explosive guy who will take reverses, hand offs and catch bombs.

He can be the 'next great offensive player', w/o being Percy Jr. I don't see him playing like a RB a la Pur$$ey.
Well, running like a RB.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee has signed a prep football star who at the age of 13 was found by a juvenile court to have helped rape a relative.
[h4]Grateful for second chance[/h4]
Daniel Hood wishes he had acted differently in 2003, but his actions since a terrible event that year paved the way for a second chance at Tennessee. Story
Daniel Hood, a 19-year-old defensive end/tight end at Knoxville Catholic, signed a scholarship offer on Tuesday and will join coach Lane Kiffin's first recruiting class in the fall.
"We didn't go about this lightly," Kiffin said in a statement. "We spent a lot of time researching the issue and talking to a lot of people who are well respected in the community. Everyone spoke very highly of Daniel. He's a very bright young man who wants to move past this incident and be a good representative for the team, the university and the community."
Tennessee received a letter of support for Hood from the victim.
"He is becoming a very mature adult and will be a great asset to any college and to society as a whole," the letter read.
Hood told The Knoxville News Sentinel, which first reported the story, that he's tried to learn from the crime.
"I had a good friend tell me I should go as far west as possible," Hood told the newspaper. "But I don't think that it's a situation that I should try to avoid. It was heinous. It was awful. Any bad thing you could say about it would probably fit it. But I think it's not trying to put it in a corner and forget it ever happened. I think you have to take it and learn from it and grow from it. ... I've got a debt to [the victim] that I can never repay, just trying to throw it away like it never happened would be the worst thing I could do for her."
Knoxville Catholic principal Dickie Sompayrak did not return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment.
According to court records, Hood and another teenager were charged in 2003 with assaulting a 14-year-old girl. The victim's legs and wrists were tied and her eyes and mouth were covered with duct tape before she was raped at the Sullivan County home of Hood's father.
Robert Sanico, then 17, pleaded guilty in adult court to charges of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated rape and is serving a 10-year prison sentence.
Hood's case went through juvenile court, where he was found delinquent and ordered into a rehabilitation program at the Mountain View Youth Development Center in Dandridge. While in state custody, he enrolled at Knoxville Catholic High School.
As a football player there, the 6-foot-5, 255-pound Hood helped the team win its first state championship and was named the 2008 Class 3A Mr. Football.
"Daniel made a terrible mistake a number of years ago and was involved in a very bad thing," Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton said in a statement. "He's very remorseful and has worked hard to turn his life around. Catholic High gave him a second chance, and he lived up to expectations. We feel like he has earned the chance to continue that."

he was, but lot of scholly's opened up with people quitting.
and really people DO NOT know the whole story.
The girl was his cousin, the dude who committed the crime was Dating his cousin.
Hood was 13, dude was 17 and a known gang member.
Dude testified in court that Hood had nothing to do with the crime and He acted alone.
Moody's gonna be next to sign a scholly ... its gonna be open season on UTK

That was a long time ago, sounds like dude has grown up anyways. It'd be a shame to see someones chances of playing college football and get a freeeducation ruined by something that happened 6 years ago.

Georgia decided recently not to take a chance on Dexter Moody, a highly rated linebacker from Twin City, Ga. Moody signed with the Bulldogs, but was releasedfrom his scholarship after threatening a teacher at his high school.
Ironically, the Vols began to show interest in Moody following his release from Georgia and had him on campus for a visit. But the latest word from Tennesseeofficials is that they have elected not to offer Moody a scholarship.

QB race is going to be wide open once Tyrod leaves, hopefully we can get some good recruits to fill in until Everette Golson arrives in 2011

Good.
Can't wait for Tenuta (hopefully) to work with him.
And some rumors that Jonas Gray could be in some hot water...for what, idk.

Seriously though, you don't even know. My friends and I already plan to throw a celebratory party SOLELY if/when Golson committs.
Oh also, I just read that Mark Leal, junior QB from Delray Beach committed to us today as well, had offers from Oregon, WVU, Rutgers and Minnesota. Not a superrecruit but he looks like a great player. Weird as hell to get 2 QB's in the same day after not getting any at all in the 09 class. Leal is from the sameHS as Clowney, Flowers, and Jayron Hosley I believe. We have a good pipeline down there right now.
