The picture on the rivals page says "Apaches" on it. I'm guessing that's Tyler JC.
Maybe that's the JUCO CB people have been asking for? He doesn't look like a lineman, and there's far less of a need at WR and RB, so I'm guessing either a DB or LB.

Has to be Maurice Hood I guess.

will have to make a transition from safety to cb. Coaches believe he can do it. Have not seen anything about his speed. Definitely a run stopping corner. Hopefully will develop into a good cover corner.

he was listed at 4.53 coming out of high school in 2008 for what it's worth...

UR today on rivals. JUCO All American DB IN 2010. Supposed to have 4.5 speed out of high school unconfirmed. Can't understand why he doesn't have more offers or is UR at this time. Does have an offer from North Texas and SFA. Some interest apparently from Pitt, UTEP, but no other offers.

If he can't get it done at CB, he will no doubt be a terror on special teams.

DB Maurice Hood out of Tyler, Texas shows a 4.53 40 on his 2008 Rivals high school page.

Good athlete and excellent DB prospect. Seems his GPA 2.0 has been his only problem in the past and hopefully he can maintain the better grades now to complete his Junior College work this spring.
