Rivals 3-star linebacker Christian Hood talks recruiting & Army offer

Yes, this was our first conversation with talented 3-star linebacker Christian Hood, who confirmed with us that he is presently holding offers from Iowa State, Syracuse, Arizona, North Texas, Rice and Louisiana Monroe.

And when we inquired if he actually had an offer from Army West Point or even hearing from the Black Knights, the 6-foot-0, 206 offered up this response.

“Oh yesArmy did offer me, I thought that was a prerequisite (to the interview) ... my bad,” he jokingly laughed.

According to Hood, his recruiting by the Black Knights is being handled by Coach Patrick Tresley.

“I’ve been talking to Army coaches for about a year now,” he explained. “I talked to a prior army O-line coach [Todd Spencer], and now Coach Tresley.”

“My conversation started with a lot of cool things about Army West Point and then he straight up told me there was not more to wait for and they are offering me.”

“Immediately I thought to thank God for his Grace,” added Hood, who stated that he plans to make a visit to the academy this spring, as his college visit schedule is starting to take form.

“North Texas that’s all so far, but UTSA this weekend,” shared Hood of upcoming visits. He was invited to attend the Rivals 3-Stripe Camp in Houston yesterday, but he indicated that he was unable to attend.

GoBlackKnights.com will continue to follow Hood’s recruiting throughout the winter, spring and his upcoming senior football campaign, so keep it right here.
