Shawnee (Kan.) Mill Valley defender Jayden Woods has been evaluated as a weakside defensive end throughout his recruitment. He’s carried a good ranking at that position, too. Most recently he was No. 212 overall in the Rivals250 and the No. 8 prospect at the position.

Earlier in July, I got a chance to see him working out at inside linebacker during a 7-on-7 tournament. His high school team plans to use him more there this fall which is very intriguing.
Woods has a great frame and moves well. He performed well in coverage during the tournament and I saw him getting extra work on the side with linebacker drills. His potential position switch is very intriguing and he’d be an impact inside linebacker for Penn State in college.
