A promising quarterback from Tennessee, Hendon Hooker is one of the top prospects for the 2023 NFL Draft.
Hooker's college career started at Virginia Tech before he transferred to Tennessee in 2021. Considering his stellar performance in 2022, the change of college seems to have done Hooker well.
That being said, one's family plays an important role in one's football career. Always sharing his moments on social media, Hooker's family is a major part of his college life. Of course, being a top NFL Draft prospect warrants some interest in one's personal life and family.
