Stud.. seems like every day, we add a player to the mix for this 09 class.. just great highlights coming out on a daily basis from Scouting Ohio.. it's almost impossible to come out with a Top 20 list at this point given how many impressive kids pop up on a daily basis..

According to someone on Bucknuts, Wood was invited to one of the upcoming junior days

 

[CoosMeister]

Impressive body control and cut abilities. I would love to see a 40 time on him though it doesn't look like he has that 2nd gear of some other guys. He's a little bigger though...

By Dave Berk...went to a junior day at Northwestern and will be visiting OSU and Cincinnati. Has offers from Illinois, Stanford, Northwestern, Indiana, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Miami Ohio and Akron.

This would be one of the three newly reported Illinois offers to Ohioans...

I've heard from a few people he's better than White.

Does the BPRT agree?

 

[wadc45]

Agreed...I like Wood's versatility...and his combination of speed and size. Great frame and such a natural athlete. But I admit I only have seen ScoutingOhio film on them. Hope to see them in person this fall...

Watch the very first clip (and the fourth one) and you can see why this kid was offered (most likely as a safety):

I really like this kid.. not sure what position he's gonna play yet.. but his athleticism and playmaking just jumps out at u on tape..

 

[wadc45]

I know I am going to get killed for this but I actually like this offer a lot better than I like the Fields offer...

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Decided to check out his scoutingohio highlights to see what he's all about and I'm in complete support of this offer(well, I always am but especially this one ). I think he'd be great on either side of the ball.

 

[keylime_5]

Based on Tressel's recruiting track record, Wood screams cornerback from what I've seen. Big DB with ability to play safety or wide receiver, sounds an awful lot like malcolm jenkins, donald washington, travis howard, ashton youboty, chimdi chekwa, eugene clifford, etc.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

Wow...Didn't see this one coming at all...Heck I hadn't even checked out the film, but I am going to have too now...

Always trust the staff, and like his size...

Clearly speculating here, but maybe has to do with the recent Miami offer to Darrell Givens...

 

[dozerbuck]

Really like the film...very versatile!! Really has a great frame....could bulk up to be a heck of a SS....200+lbs

Explodes through his tackles very well....might have more explosion than Fields in and out of cuts....is that what you are thinking Wad45?
