NATE OLIVER Ohio State University Camp day 2 and 3
I got a chance to catch up with Nate Oliver Linebacker for the Ohio State Buckeyes to get his thoughts about how camp was going thus far.
"Day 2 and 3 went by smooth. The team is out here flying around having fun. It's crazy how much I missed playing football but I think it has a lot to do with what has been happening here the past few months. We out here grinding and playing hard & it's crazy to watch sometimes because I can honestly say that in my 5 years of being here at OSU I have NEVER seen enthusiasm like this before. We still have a lot of work to do but as long as we continue to get better each day we are going to be alright. #SacredBrotherhood #Unbreakable We are All In!!"

Remember D.J. Woods?
The former Strongsville wide receiver was certainly one to watch during his high school days.
The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation announced July 7 that Woods was one of 75 players added to the watch list for the 2011 Biletnikoff Award, an honor given annually to the nation’s best college receiver. The list includes the likes of potential first-round draft picks such as Justin Blackmon of Oklahoma State University and the University of South Carolina’s Alshon Jeffery.
The news wasn’t all that shocking to his former Mustang coach Russ Jacques.
The former Strongsville wide receiver was certainly one to watch during his high school days.
Now a senior standout for the University of Cincinnati, he’s one to watch again.
The news wasn’t all that shocking to his former Mustang coach Russ Jacques.
“He is one of the hardest-working kids we ever had,” said Jacques, who still tries to keep in touch with his former star. “He made a big impact on our younger players. It has certainly paid off for him as far as his college career is concerned.”
Woods, who was forced out of action during his senior year of high school when doctors found a blood clot in his lower back, has rebounded nicely in college.
As a true freshman in 2008, he played in every game on the schedule, working his way into the fourth receiver slot on the Bearcats’ depth chart. In 2009, he started 12 of 13 games at slot receiver, hauling in 51 grabs for 540 yards and four touchdowns. Last year, he was a Second-Team All-BIG EAST Conference selection after catching 57 balls for 898 yards and eight touchdowns. He rushed in two more scores, while also handling UC’s punt and kick returns.
If the upward trend continues, Woods will likely force opposing teams to give him even more attention in 2011.
“There are certain names that they all know,” Jacques said of the younger players who come into his program year after year. “D.J. is one of them. And he’s got a chance to maybe play on Sundays

July 7, 2011
CINCINNATI - University of Cincinnati senior D.J. Woods (Strongsville, Ohio/Strongsville) was named to the watch list for the 2011 Biletnikoff Award, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation announced Thursday.
The Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation's most outstanding wide receiver, was instituted in 1994 and is named after former Florida State and Oakland Raiders wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff.
Woods, a Second-Team All-BIG EAST Conference selection, caught 57 balls for 898 yards in 2010. He added 10 touchdowns while also serving as UC's primary punt and kick returner.
He was one of the most productive players in the league a year ago, leading the BIG EAST in all-purpose yards, averaging 154.9 per game. He ranked in the Top-10 in the conference in receptions per game (3rd/4.8), receiving yards per game (2nd/74.8), punt return average (6th/7.7) and kick return average (7th/22.8). His 10 touchdowns (eight receiving, two rushing) tied for fourth in the BIG EAST.
