Stanford picked an important running back commitment from Justus Woods on Thursday. The Charlotte (N.C.) Charlotte Christian star was strongly considering schools like Wisconsin and Northwestern but decided Stanford was the place for him.
Woods is known to be a great receiving option out of the backfield but he also has the size and speed to be a consistent well-rounded runner. Northwestern got their chance to impress Woods this past weekend during a visit but it wasn't enough to make him pull the trigger.
Woods is just the second commitment for Stanford in the 2018 class after Rivals100 quarterback Jack West.
