Woods chose the Mountaineers over North Texas, UTEP, Washington State, Tulsa, Western Kentucky, Troy, Western Michigan, Middle Tennessee State, Arkansas State, Missouri State, Tennessee State, and Kennesaw State.

The six-foot, 280-pound offensive lineman was listed as a four star by Rivals and 247 Sports and, according to Rivals, he was ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the State of Nebraska and ranked as the No. 14 offensive guard in the 2022 recruiting class before verbally committing to Missouri and ultimately signing with Wyoming. Then, transferred to Butler CC.

Woods has two years of eligibility remaining.

Woods is the 35th commitment overall for the ’26 class and the sixth offensive lineman to commit.
