Recruiting: Woods initially committed to
SMUbefore flipping to Arkansas, where he became coach Chad Morris' first recruit. Before committing to SMU, he also took visits to
Northwestern and
Texas A&M.
At Arkansas: After redshirting in 2018, Woods totaled 65 receptions for 1,032 yards and nine touchdowns during the 2019 and 2020 seasons. He averaged 19.3 yards per reception in 2020, which was third in the SEC.
Potential landing spots: Woods quickly received interest from dozens of schools, including
Penn State,
Oklahoma,
South Carolina,
Michigan,
Auburn,
Kentucky,
Tennessee,
Washington State,
Florida,
Florida State, USC,
Nebraska,
Texas Tech,
Baylor, Virginia and
Louisville. The Sooners and Nittany Lions have been two of the most aggressive in the early stages.
Farrell’s Take: Woods is a matchup problem in college as we’ve already seen at times as a big receiver and a downfield long strider who can blow past many. He will have his choice of major programs and it wouldn’t be a shock to see him land with Oklahoma or another wide open offense known for distributing the ball and with good QB play.
