Josh Woods never took his football scholarship at Maryland for granted, and he never was the kind of kid who assumed playing time was a given, especially at the college level.
Yet watching two of his best friends on the team go down with season-ending knee injuries a year ago, and then experiencing his own struggles, has seemingly given the former McDonogh standout a new sense of commitment.
Woods is the first to admit that his junior year didn’t go the way he wanted. The torn ACLs suffered by fellow safety Denzel Conyers and cornerback Will Likely III a month apart took their toll on Woods.
