perfectly compliments the Wolves passing attack. A bowling ball of a running back that doesn’t go down on first contact, Woodruff clearly spends a lot of time in the weight room — or he did this offseason. A powerful runner that will take on multiple tacklers at once, the senior captain took on almost the entirety of the Valley defense at one point, with seven tacklers having to come together to take him down before the whistle was blown.
Once the defense accounts for Heitland, Oliver and Green in the passing game, Woodruff can handle the rock and make them pay for backing off the line of scrimmage. Once he gets to the second level of the defense, it will undoubtedly take multiple defenders to bring him down.
