ESPN did a unique batch of rankings recently, ranking the top 50 newcomers in college football ($).
These rankings weren’t just for freshmen but also included players who have transferred to new teams for the 2023 season. Among these top 50 landed Clemson freshman Peter Woods, one of the top recruits in the 2023 class.
According to these rankings, Woods is the No.33 overall newcomer. He ranked No.8 among freshen. Here is what writer Tom VanHaaren had to say about the new Tiger.
Woods was one of the most sought-after defensive linemen in the 2023 class. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound lineman had 90 tackles, 23 tackles for loss and 8 sacks as a senior in high school. He finished his high school career with 260 tackles, 72 tackles for loss and 29.5 sacks. Woods played in the Clemson spring game and had seven tackles with one sack while playing on the first-team defense.
Expectations are high for Woods, who could be a top contributor for the Tigers in 2023. The defensive tackle was ranked as high as the No. 4 overall prospect in his class by ESPN, the highest of any defender in the class.
We can’t wait to see him on the field this season, as we might have another star on the Clemson defensive line.
