4-star EDGE Jayden Woods commits to Penn State Nittany Lions
Shawnee (Kan.) Mill Valley four-star EDGE Jayden Woods has committed to the Penn State Nittany Lions.
Woods chose the Lions over schools like Wisconsin, Purdue and Tennessee.
He took his official visit to State College over the June 7 weekend and previously visited campus back in March.
“The connection with Coach Barnes and Coach [Torrence] Brown was great the whole visit,” Woods said following his March 12 visit. “I could really see myself playing for them. Talking with Coach [James] Franklin was great too. He actually recruited my dad and was with him at K-State back in the day. Watching number [Abdul Carter] and [Jameial Lyons] pass rush at practice was amazing. I got the chance to talk to [Dani Dennis-Sutton] about hand placement on pass rush, too.”
