Utah State football: Woodward emerging as Aggie star

LOGAN — Sophomore David Woodward wears No. 9 on his jersey, a number that carries a lot of significance when you’re a linebacker at Utah State University.

But while All-Pro Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner and Green Bay Packers linebacker Kyler Fackrell both sported No. 9 with the Aggies before moving onto the NFL in recent years, Utah State head coach Matt Wells has seen another current pro ‘backer in Woodward ever since the Olympia, Washington native was in high school.

“As we evaluated (Woodward) during his senior year, he reminded us more and more of Nick Vigil,” Wells says.
