4. Jelani Woods, Pro-Style Quarterback

High School: Cedar Grove

Hometown: Ellenwood, GA

Height: 6’7″

Weight: 230

247Sports Composite Rating: three-star

Woods committed to Oklahoma State on April 15, 2016. He had 12 offers including Alabama, Michigan, Louisville, Auburn, South Carolina, Arkansas, Georgia, and Kansas State. Considering the level of competition for Woods’ recruitment, this was a great pickup for the Cowboys. Along with one other player from Georgia in his class, Woods joins an Oklahoma State roster with four other players from Georgia.

According to 247Sports Composite rankings, Woods is the 30th best pro-style quarterback nationally, and the 67th best player from Georgia.

Woods has great size at 6’7″, 230 pounds. It’s hard to ask for much more when talking about a quarterback’s height.

Furthermore, Woods has great pocket awareness and can escape the pocket quickly when necessary. He has a good deep ball and a strong arm. However, he does struggle with consistent accuracy.

Don’t be fooled by Woods’ pro-style quarterback label. He can still run the read option.

Woods is part of an Oklahoma State recruiting class that features two commits at quarterback.

Look for competition between current OK State quarterbacks Keondre Wudtee and John Kolar, with commits Tracin Wallace and Woods. With quarterback Mason Rudolph leaving no later than after the 2017 season, the competition will be open soon.
