There have been plenty of stories regarding early offers out to players, a few have been offered full rides before they ever play a snap of high school football. That wasn’t exactly the case with the newest offer by Brian Kelly and his staff but it’s damn close.

Alabama defensive end Peter Woods was offered a scholarship this morning and the Irish are seemingly late to Woods recruitment. The massive freshman, yes technically he’s still a freshman, stands 6’4” and weights 250-pounds already holds offers from 18 other schools. It’s not as if they’re small schools offering Woods, its Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Georgia and others that the Irish have joined in offering the impressive young player.

It seems as if Woods could play either end or tackle on the defensive line as his highlights show he’s making plays all over the field. Playing varsity for a freshman is impressive, but what makes Woods more so is the numbers he put up: sacking the quarterback 7 times, forcing and recover a fumble and accounting for 54 tackles. A senior would be happy with those numbers!
Woods recruitment has just started but it has started with bang. The class of 2023 prospect will be a wanted man and now the Irish have joined in the attempt to lure this exceptional player to South Bend.
