Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the biggest winners from the 2024 summer camp szn, Rocori High School simply can’t stop producing high-end talent. Year after year, and especially lately, the Spartans seem to be sending a name or two into the D1 ranks, and their 2026 class is well represented by both

. Possessing an eye-catching frame that is coveted by D1 coordinators and scouts, Woods was quickly identified and followed by the Minnesota Gophers’ staff at one of their prospect camps last summer, immediately putting him on the radar of local Division 1s. UND, NDSU, SDSU, and Northern Illinois got gameday visits from the two-way contributor this past fall, and NDSU got him on campus for a junior day last month. South Dakota and Wyoming also came in to see Woods in person in January.
The length, as well as his ability to use it, have to have prospective college coaches excited. As a TE, those long arms are used to pluck the ball out of the air in traffic while showing coordination and strong hands that can catch the rock away from his body, and he’s a strong kid who can move mass in the run game as a blocker. I think Woods really shines on the defensive side of the ball, where he uses his long arms to make tackles through contact around the LOS, as well as halting ball carriers in their tracks before ripping them to the ground. He also uses his length to keep defenders at bay before shedding and tackling RBs. Has a good rep of him long-arming and keeping two separate OL off his chest while locking out his arms like the competition were his two nosy brothers, and his quick get-off and first step led to some pressure on opposing QBs throughout the year. The potential and upside are through the roof, but the film leaves a little bit to be desired in terms of splash plays and pass-rush production, but big, athletic bodies like Woods‘ don’t grow on trees, and coming out of a program as consistent as Rocori means he’s going to be tough and technically sound, so it’s hard not to think a D1 school is going to take a flyer out on the high-upside DE. Could be a big offseason for yet another Rocori Spartan.
