Carlsbad High School’s Spencer Hood, 18, graduated last week with honors and a 4.1 grade point average. Now, he’s on his way to Dartmouth where says he’d like to put the “stereotype of dumb-jock to rest.”
I always get labeled as the ‘football player,’ the ‘dumb jock,’ but that’s not the case,” he said last week. “It’s a general misconception that athletes are not well-rounded, that they don’t focus on academics. People are surprised when they see someone who can excel at both.
Hood, who was named scholar-athlete of the year and defensive football player of the year, has a fraternal twin brother, Gordon, also graduated with honors and is off to Brown. Yeah, they’re a double threat.
Congrats to the entire Hood family.
