Boston College made a new offer late last week, as the staff offered '23 ATH Colton Hood out of Eagles Landing Christian Academy in McDonough, Georgia. The 6-1 defensive back is rated a three star recruit (87), the number 50 defensive back and 47th ranked recruit in Georgia based off the 247sports.com rating service. Hood attends the same school as '22 Boston College signee DB Amari Jackson. 

Hood spoke with BC Bulletin about his offer. "I talked to the defensive coordinator (Tem Lukabu)," he explained. "He just said I was a great ball hawk and that he offered one of my teammates." His teammate he is referring to is fellow defensive back RJ Johnson, also a three star 2023 recruit. 

Coming from a southern state, some recruits are still learning abut Boston College. Hood has a good grasp on the program. "They are a really good A ACC team and have a really good school academically so it’s definitely a possibility to me." Hood is building up an impressive offer list and holds offers from Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU and Kansas State. 

Boston College has been in contact frequently with Hood, according to the recruit. "They've been talking to me since November." He has high aspirations for his future, with a career in the NFL a hope. The school he is looking for is "Somewhere where I can get the best coaching and what would be the best fit for me to reach my ultimate goal the Hall of Fame."

Colton Hood says that he is planning on visiting Boston College when the time is right.
