ANDERSON | Cutter Woods Cutter Woods 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Westside | 2025 State SC put on a show right in his own high school’s backyard.
Woods took home the overall MVP award for the juniors who were on hand on Saturday at the Palmetto Combine West Combine at Westside High School.
He looked impressive accelerating and running through the line during his 40-yard dash. He put his arm strength on display for everyone to see. He has a nice velocity on his throws and it was fun to watch him roll out to his left.
“The local guys, I know a lot of them. It’s good to be out at the local high school I go to,” Woods said.
Other standouts at Saturday afternoon’s junior session include:
Best 40-Yard Time: Jaiden Taylor, Southside
Taylor ran a 4.4 and 4.57 in the two cycles he ran.

Nelson showed violent hands and can get physical with an opposing defensive lineman.

Willingham did an excellent job stacking the defensive back to make the play for the touchdown during the competition period.
