Blood was a stabilizing force amidst a somewhat tumultuous season for the Southern Jaguars. In his first full year of action, he threw for 1,963 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He completed 58% of his passing attempts. Blood also ran for a touchdown this season.

Blood's best game came against Lincoln, during which he led the Jaguars to a 45-18 rout at their own homecoming. He completed 19 of 28 passing attempts for a whopping 329 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. He also had his longest touchdown of the year in the same game: a 98-yard catch-and-run by receiver Darren Morris.

The Southern Jaguars went 5-5 this season with Blood at the helm. He was benched for their 27-22 victory over Grambling State in the Bayou Classic for sophomore quarterback Noah Bodden. However, with his age and experience, Blood will certainly be an attractive transfer portal option for a contending team.
