WeAreSC.com - Class of 2010 Recruiting Update: Robert Woods is One to Watch

Woods just finished his sophmore season on the Serra Cavalier football team, yet he is gaining recognition as one of the southland's best football players. The 6'0, 173 lbs Woods helped the Cavaliers finish with a 10 - 2 record and led the team in receptions (43 rec. for 801 yards, 18+ yards per catch) on offense, and he led the team with (8) interceptions from his free safety position on defense.

Cavalier coach Scott Altenberg expects more of the same from Woods, and (14) other returning starters next season. "Robert was the MVP of our team as a sophmore. That hasn't happened in my ten plus years of coaching. He just made big plays whenever we needed them, and I just expect him to get better and better. With all of our returning starters, expectations for our team will be high in 2008, but I think with playmakers like Woods and others, we'll be fine."

Coach Altenberg is not the only one who has high expectations. Woods expects to do even more for his team going forward. " I played pretty well last season, but I really want to be even more of an impact player next year." That shouldn't be a problem for a player who has runs the forty yard dash in the 4.5 range. And although that speed comes in handy for Woods when playing the last line of defense at free safety, Woods considers himself a "speed" wide receiver who also has good hands, quickness and reaction time.

As for recruiting, interest in Woods is picking up steam. According to Coach Altenberg, all of the Pac 10 teams have made contact about Woods, with Colorado and Arizona State showing serious interest with verbal scholarship offers. Woods' profile will rise even more as high school football camps continue over the next few months. A recent winner of the Overall MVP Award at the Schuman National Underclassmen Combine, Woods says he's looking forward to participating in more football camps this year. " I intend on going to the USC camp this summer," says Woods. " I enjoy going to them because they are fun and competitive."

A good student, Woods reports a 3.4 GPA and really enjoys math. Those math skills will probably come in handy as Woods will be busy over the next year adding up scholarship offers. And although Woods doesn't have an early favorite, playing football for a program in the West is appealling to him. " I really like a lot of the football teams on the West Coast. I like watching their style of play. "
