Bio

2024: Woods appeared in nine games with two starts on C-N's defensive line. He had 15 tackles, three tackles for loss and a half a sack. Woods scored the first touchdown of the season for Carson-Newman when he recovered a blocked punt in the end zone midway through the first quarter in the Eagles' 50-7 rout of No, 18 Reinhardt. The blocked punt returned for a touchdown is the 13th in school history and the first since EJ Davis' 0-yard touchdown return at Catawba from 2021. Woods special teams touchdown is the first that Carson-Newman has ever scored in the month of August as a program. It marks just the second time in school history that the first points Carson-Newman scored in a season came on special teams.  Former head coach and consensus All-American linebacker Mike Clowney started Carson-Newman's scoring during the 1993 season when he returned a blocked punt for a touchdown against Central State. The accolade is a rare honor for a defensive lineman.  Woods joins Lenoir-Rhyne's TJ Blanding (Limestone in 2023), as well as Carson-Newman's Trayzel Jureidini-Wyche (Erskine in 2022) and Justin Long (Limestone in 2015) as the only non-return men/kickers to be recognized as special teams players of the week in the last decade.
