A former three-star recruit in the class of 2019, he was the No. 582 overall player in the nation per the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average.

The NFL.com scout pointed out that while his combine numbers did not meet expectations, his film and on-field production leave many excited for the future.
“Arkansas transfer with just a single season in Lincoln Riley’s passing game,” wrote Zierlein. “Woods is a tight-hipped receiver with below-average bend that affects his route running and keeps his work on a vertical plane. He has decent build-up speed and showed improved hands in 2021, but is unlikely to ever be considered a catch winner. Woods has a shot to compete for a practice squad spot but lacks play traits that stand out for the position.”
