“Stephen Woods, a First Team All-Lone Star Conference outside linebacker, nickel – probably a slot nickel,” Whitten said. “He was a highly, highly productive player, one of the best Division 2 players in the state of Texas. He was highly recruited coming out of the portal.”
 
Woods is a Houston native. He played three varsity years at George Ranch High School in Richmond, Texas, where he was twice First Team All-District. Woods was on the honor at both Angelo State and in high school. He will pursue his MBA at Tarleton State University.
