Hood appeared in four games for the Tigers in 2023. He recorded three tackles, each of them coming in Auburn's dominant loss against the Maryland Terrapins in the Music City Bowl in December.

As a recruit, Hood was a 4-star recruit with a 89.42 rating according to On3. Hood was the No. 383 player nationally, the No. 42 cornerback and the No. 38 player in the state of Georgia.

The McDonough, Georgia native's uncle, Roderick Hood played for Auburn as a defensive back before playing eight seasons in the NFL.

Hood is the 21st Auburn player to enter the transfer portal this offseason.
