As the NFL draft nears, the Dallas Cowboys have focused their pre-draft visits on defensive players, with 18 out of 21 visits dedicated to this side of the ball. Among these, Colton Hood, a cornerback from the University of Tennessee, has emerged as a key prospect. Hood, who has had a varied college journey starting at Auburn before transferring to Colorado and finally Tennessee, showcased his skills with 12 starts in 2025, recording an interception returned for a touchdown and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. His performance earned him second-team All-SEC honors. Hood's impressive metrics include a 9.66 RAS (Relative Athletic Score), ranking him among the top cornerbacks historically. With Hood ranked as the fifth-best cornerback and 30th overall prospect in the draft, he could be a strong candidate for the Cowboys' No. 20 pick or later if they opt to trade back. His ability to play man-to-man coverage and compete physically makes him a valuable asset for any NFL team.
