LG’s Woods Commits to Baylor
La Grange star lineman Jaren Woods (a senior-to-be this fall) has verbally committed to accept a scholarship offer to play college football for Baylor University after graduation. Woods has been a highly recruited prospect with offers from Vanderbilt, Auburn, California, Houston, North Texas, TCU, UT, Texas Tech and Yale in addition to Baylor. He becomes the second member of the LHS Class of 2023 to commit to a big-time D-I football program. Two months ago, Leps defensive back Bravion Rogers verbally committed to play for Texas A&M. Verbal commitments are non-binding. The earliest recruits can formally accept a scholarship offer in writing is in December.
