EX-SOUTHERN JAG BASEBALL STAR TRYING HIS HAND IN THE NFL
Doug Williams gives Michael Woods a shot in the NFL
Michael Woods was playing second base in the Tigers' organization a little over a month ago, but now he's trying his hand at cornerback
May 06, 2006 - This weekend's mini-camp is an introduction for the Bucs' new rookies, but it is also a unique opportunity for several dozen tryout players, some of whom took winding paths to this point
OBSCURE ROOTS
As the head coach at Grambling, Doug Williams tried to recruit Baton Rouge prep star Michael Woods to his program in the late 1990s, only to lose out to Southern, the most powerful team in the Southwestern Athletic Conference at the time.
Southern wanted Woods for both football and baseball, but he ended up on the diamond exclusively, turning into one of the nation's best players as a power-hitting, base-stealing shortstop. The Detroit Tigers drafted Woods with the 32nd overall pick in the 2001 draft, installed him at second base and planned on building around him as one of the organization's top prospects
