Ht:6'0"

GPA:2.7
 
Getting interest from UC, Indiana, Iowa, Louisville, Michigan St, Purdue.

Attending UC junior day.
 
Man, he is one BIG kid.

Some schools are projecting him as a Center, which wouldn't be a bad idea. Not sure how mobile he would be on the edge. :)
 
311 pounds and he is only 6'0. Kid is built like a fire hydrant. I would say center is definitely a better position for him than OT. He might have problems with tall defensive lineman who would have the reach advantage over him.
 
UC signed 2 from Pike recently, so hopefully this will help in him deciding. Look forward to hearing something from his visit next weekend.

Actually the number is three when you consider Andre Cureton from the year before. The coach at Pike is originally from Cincinnati if I am not mistaken.
 
UC is showing alot of interest in Woods. Wouldn't be surprised if they nab him at the end.
 
The interest is mutual, expect him to get offered sooner than later.
 
Kody will be attending Ball State and Louisville the next 2 weeks and then Cincinnati and Michigan before the beginning of summer. He seems more excited than ever to have this opportunity and seems to understand what is at stake.
I am sure that he will make the best of the opportunities afforded him.

UC stopped by his school this week. The contact by UC has been good, and he'd be a solid pickup if they can get him in.
 
He was a kid I wasn't sure about at first but I think he'd be a solid pickup. It also sounds like he had a good showing at the Nike combine in Columbus this past weekend:

"One player that may have helped himself the most was Kody Woods of Indianapolis (IN) Pike High School. The 6-foot-3, 295-pound Woods showed he could handle about any defensive lineman in one-on-one drills using a great base and toughness. All his reps were inside reps (guard/center) and this is where Woods projects at the next level. Keeping score Woods won the most reps of any offensive lineman taking away 7 victories in a drill that favors defensive linemen."

and then later in the article:

Just saw that myself, thanks for posting it. Not sure why he isn't offered. Our OL and DL recruiting is less than desirable thus far, at least from where I'm sitting.

This past week, Kody was at the Blue/Gray Combine last week in Cincy. Earlier, this spring, at the Nike Camp at OSU in Columbus OH, Kody scored the most victories in 1 on 1 position drills (the drills can be seen on his recruiting site). Woods also plans on visiting the UK Camp later this month, as well as the Michigan camp in June, and camps in Missouri, and Minnesota later this summer.
The Junior credits his Strength and Conditioning Coach at Pike (Coach Moe Sutton) with helping him get in condition for Big Time Football. Kody says that Coach Sutton has helped him get bench press up to 425 lbs. and his speed down in the 40 (5.2 sec). Woods also states that the Pike Staff is constantly holding Dekotah Tyler up to the team as a role model as to where hard work can get you!
Kody states that his toughest competition in the trenches are: Kiaro Holts (ranked #5 OT)and Kris Harley (ranked #13 DT and verbal to Va Tech.) (both of Warren Central HS), and Joel Hale (ranked #35 DT) of Center Grove HS in Greenwood (a suburb of Indy).
Woods is considering several schools including: UK, Cincy, Michigan, and Ball State. He also said that at this time he does not have any offers, but expects offers to start flooding in within the next month or so.
As far as committing goes, the Pike Junior states to look for something no earlier than the middle of the season unless a Big Time team steps up soon. He also said that he would really like to stay within a few hour drive of Indy in order for his family to see him play in college.
The National Underclassman Combine actually compares him to Steve Hutchinson of the NFL (see the above link).
One thing that he said that stuck with me: "I do not care who or how many other linemen a school signs, I will go where I feel that it is right and will take my own spot". Somehow, I think Kody will do just that!
