About Jago
Expert Analysis
Ed OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
In his first year of playing linebacker, Woodards made 45 total tackles (4 TFL’s), broke up four passes, forced one fumble, and recovered two fumbles. Woodards is a linebacker who plays with real urgency and physicality. Whether he’s lined up inside, outside, or on the edge, he consistently diagnoses the run quickly and meets ball carriers in the backfield or at the line of scrimmage. Woodards does a great job of shedding blocks, closing space fast, and stopping forward progress when he makes contact. What stands out most is his sideline-to-sideline range and ability to trigger downhill on sweeps and outside runs before they can develop. Woodards is a fundamentally sound tackler who wraps up and finishes with authority. Adding more coverage reps to his tape would round out his coverage. As a run defender with versatility, he’s a strong, dependable presence. He would easily flourish in a situation where he takes on multiple linebacker roles.
