CLEMSON – Historically, Clemson defensive lineman Peter Woods has been a winner.
In high school, the Alabaster, Ala., native helped his Thompson Warriors to four consecutive 7A State Championships, notching 29.5 sacks and 72 tackles-for-loss along the way.
“He’s been raised in Alabaster, and he started playing for us in the eighth grade,” Woods’ high school coach said of the five-star recruit in 2022. “He was just a guy that I felt like when he was mature enough physically, that he was going to be a good player.”
After playing in a state championship game as an eighth grader, Woods helped his team to a 50-5 record in his high school career, finishing as a first-team All-American and MaxPreps’ Alabama Player of the Year in 2022.
