May be second-choice RB Woods may be the Cougars' second-choice running back for their upcoming season, Greg Woods of The Spokesman-Review reports.

Impact For 2026, Woods decided to re-enroll at Washington State, meaning the year would mark his second season for WSU. Kirby Vorhees (undisclosed) was out for Saturday's scrimmage, so Woods logged first-team reps. The decision indicates that Woods may be WSU's second-choice running back, which should allow him to somehow improve from his impressive 363-yard season with the 2025 Huskies.

Along with the 225 on 36 carries, Woods also logged 18 receptions for 138 yards, totaling over 350 all-purpose-wise.

Impact Vinnick's update suggests that Woods is healthy as he and Washington State prepare for 2025. The question is where he fits among WSU's running backs, and especially behind projected No. 1 Angel Johnson. Like him, Woods also comes from South Dakota State, for whom he logged 29 carries, 176 rushing yards (6.1 averaged per carry) and one touchdown.
