“I think Mr. Hood and I have a lot in common. We both have love family, country, and wrestling. We both faced challenges but refuse to have those challenges define us. In my mind, he was a man like no other, and someone I would be proud to be associated with in life. We share discipline, a hard work ethic, but also a wicked sense of humor. This scholarship would be a gift that someday I will keep giving in connection to him. I will be incredibly thankful, and always revere the qualities Master Sergeant Corey Hood demonstrated and strive to be more like him every day”
