There aren't many things that can stop a college athlete from playing the sport they love. One of those few things is a serious injury. For senior Preston Woods, three herniated discs and two surgeries, only made him want to play more. The South St. Paul, Minn., native played as a true freshman in 2014 before suffering his injury. Woods took his time in rehab and made sure he was good to go before returning to the field. He has now started 18 games in a row on the defensive line, thanks in part to an optimistic attitude.
