BlakeHood.

Blake Hood is a senior punter at Aledo High in Texas, one of the most decorated programs in the state, where a specialist gets evaluated on a big stage every Friday. His senior season has a 38.3-yard punting average on the record, and at 6-2 and 175 pounds he has the long frame that lets a punter's leg keep developing through college. What separates his profile from a typical specialist's is the athlete underneath it. A 4.7 forty, a 240-pound bench and a 400-pound squat are numbers a position player would be happy with, and for a punter they mean two things: the leg strength to add hang time and distance as technique sharpens, and the ability to handle a fake or make a tackle when a return breaks the wrong way. His channel of practice and game film is on file — useful for a specialist, because practice reps show the mechanics repeating while game clips show them holding up under a rush. A 3.5 GPA keeps academics in order. Hood is an ONE11 two-star at a position where programs recruit late and value a verified average, a live leg and a clean transcript. He has all three.
