Pokes compete in first action of the season at Northwest Open

2011-12: Woods showed his promise at two weights, 174 and 184. He placed third or better in five tournaments over the season, and just missed cracking the 20-win mark.

For the year, he was 19-6 with six pins and one major decision. His 19 wins ranked 10th on the team. After starting out the season with just a 6-4 mark, he reeled off a 13-2 record the rest of the way and won the Rocky Mountain Open in dominating fashion. He was 1-0 versus WWC opponents.

2010-11: Woods compiled a 23-7 overall record while wrestling in six open tournaments at 184 pounds, as he redshirted his first season with the Cowboys. He collected seven pins, three major decisions and one technical fall while going 5-0 against the WWC.

Woods opened with third-place showings at the Northwest Open and Cowboy Open, before placing fifth at the Kaufman-Brand Open and fourth at the UNK Loper Open. He ended his season by winning the Utah Valley Open and placing second at the Rocky Mountain Open to win seven of his last eight matches.

High School: Woods wrestled at Tuttle High School. He was 30-0 as a senior, won his second state crown at 215 pounds and led his team to its second-straight team title. He accomplished that despite tearing his ACL late in the season.

As a junior, he was an Oklahoma State 4A High School Champion in 2009 at 215 pounds with a 40-3 mark. He led his team to a state title that same season and placed third individually at the Midwest Classic in Kansas City, Mo. As a sophomore, Woods placed third at the state tournament in the 160-pound weight class.

Personal: Woods was born March 6, 1991, in Chickasha, Okla. His parents are Jason and Dana Woods. He has one older brother, Jason Woods II. He is pursuing a degree in kinesiology.
