Although Ohio State has always been his favorite college football program, junior Eli Woodard (Vorhees, N.J./Vorhees) said it would be a mistake to assume that's where he'll end up playing after he graduates from high school.
“Ohio State has always been my dream school, but I'm still keeping my options open,” Woodard said. “It's too early to tell right now.”
