Hooker, the younger brother of former Buckeye and first-round pick Malik Hooker, is a three-star safety out of Newcastle, Pennsylvania. He has yet to see action in a game as he was suspended for the season opener due to a DUI charge and battled an injury after that.
According to the video, Hooker will make his debut start on the kickoff team on Saturday.
