Woodson is like a heat seeking missle in run support. He often knifes through the line and makes the play for little to no gain. Rod is a very physical tackler who thrives on making the big hit. He could possibly grow into a strong side linebacker.


Biography:
2008 Woodson had 95 tackles, five sacks and three interceptions during his senior season. Named 1st team All-State by the Clarion Ledger, Orlando Sentinel All- Southern Team (MS), MS Association of Coaches 5A Defensive Player of the Year.

Selected to play in the Mississippi/Alabama All-Star game.

Named to the Clarion Ledger's Dandy Dozen list.

As a junior, Rod Woodson recorded a team high 148 tackles, three fumbles caused, three fumbles recovered and three interceptions for Olive Branch (11-3, lost in semifinals). Woodson says he can bench 315 pounds, squat 500 and insists he has an incredible 41-inch vertical jump.

Woodson doesn't report a core GPA but has scored a 14 ACT (May retake).

Woodson: "I can hit. I'm real strong and I love to tackle. I never stop and I'm very aggressive. I go real hard.

"But I'd like to break on the ball better and I'm still trying to get faster. I do a lot of footwork drills too."

Coach Scott Samsel
"If Rod is not a Top 100 player in the country, then someone needs to show me what one is (laughing). I know there is not a better one in the state of Mississippi. He has it all."
