To me, hes similar to Nate Salley. Both are tall and slender, yet are strong and cut, helping them to lay the wood. Each also has a nose for the ball and very versatile. |

ESPN - Top-flight '09 safeties a versatile bunch - Football Recruiting
Quote:
The Big Ten Conference picked up verbals from the final two safeties ranked in the top 10. It's only fitting they will go to rival schools -- Michigan and Ohio State. Isaiah Bell (Youngstown, Ohio/Liberty) will venture from Youngstown to play for the Wolverines, and Jamie Wood (Pickerington, Ohio/Central) will stay in central Ohio to play for the Buckeyes.
At 209 pounds, Bell is a huge safety, but he moves like a much lighter athlete. He is a very fluid defensive player who is especially impressive in zone coverage. Wood, meanwhile, is an intensely competitive back who is best-suited for the strong safety position. He displays great timing on special teams when coming off the edge to block punts and field goals.

Ohio Capital Conference: Talented Tigers see fruits of their effort
Expectations won't mar Pickerington Central's big plans
|
Quote:
The Tigers finished 11-1 in 2007. They went 13-2 and lost in the 2006 Division II championship game to Piqua and Mr. Football, Brandon Saine.
Wood said the players are focused only on the opener against Upper Arlington.
"Our goals? To take it one game at a time," he said. "Upper Arlington, that's a playoff team and it will be like a playoff game. We think we know how to play, but we'll have to earn everything. We know we're one of the smallest Division I teams. That's why we have to play hard and physical."

STAR PLAYERS
Jamie Wood
PICKERINGTON CENTRAL
With 25 receptions for 515 yards and seven touchdowns, and
56 tackles (five for loss), 13 pass breakups and one interception, Wood (6-2, 195, sr.) turned in respectable if not mind-blowing statistics in 2007. Someone noticed, however, as Rivals.com ranked Wood the top recruit in Ohio and he shortly thereafter made a verbal commitment to Ohio State.
