Keyshawn Woods Will Have to Ease Into Leadership Role, Despite Veteran Status

For the second straight season, Ohio State is set to welcome a graduate transfer guard into its program.

One year after bringing in Michigan transfer Andrew Dakich, Chris Holtmann brought Keyshawn Woods to Columbus for his final year of eligibility after two years at Wake Forest and another at Charlotte.

On a team that has lost the vast majority of its leadership from a year ago, it might be assumed that a player of Woods' caliber and experience might be asked to step into a leadership role for the Buckeyes in 2018-19. That however, is not the case according to Holtmann, who said Tuesday that Woods should learn from Dakich and how the former Wolverine approached his lone season at Ohio State.
