Former Colorado corner Colton Hood announced that he was transferred to Tennessee on Friday.
Hood was expected to take over the Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter in Buffaloes.
In the season alone, he made 24 teams and two interventions in 13 matches for Coach Deion Sanders in 2024.
Born in Georgia, Hood played his first -class season in Auburn and took part in four games in 2023.
Hood said on Friday, “Culture and History” at Tennessee and Volunteer Head Coach Josh Heupel loves the “reality”.
“They said that I could basically go in and play, and that I could be a big factor that they continued immediately.” He said. “I think that's big.”
He also said he was excited to play home closer and test his skills against his rivals.
“This is really big because I was only in Colorado, it's really far away, it's really far from home.” He said. “So it is great for myself to approach the house.
“I am attractive to oppose the best. I am proud of my competitiveness, so very attractive.”
Tennessee, which was released from 10-3 seasons, launched its 2025 campaign against Syracuse in Atlanta on August 30th.
