Woods impresses despite stumbles

FAYETTEVILLE -- The Arkansas Razorbacks are expected to become a magnet for high-end pass catchers as the Chad Morris offense rounds into shape in the coming years.

Strangely, the only scholarship wide receiver or tight end to sign with the Razorbacks during the offseason was Mike Woods, a 6-2, 195-pound spring enrollee. Based on his performance in fall practice, Woods projects to get playing time in the crowded receiver ranks inherited by position coach Justin Stepp.

The product of Magnolia, Texas, just north of Houston, committed to Morris and his staff at SMU, then made the switch to the University of Arkansas in December, joining offensive lineman Silas Robinson as the first oral pledges to the new staff.
