Maxwell Woods brings verified all-purpose explosiveness, but his 2025 impact at Washington State has been limited so far
Woods is a compact, versatile back with real playmaking upside: as a high school senior he posted 1,844 rushing yards, 20 rushing TDs, 258 receiving yards and five receiving TDs, plus two kickoff return TDs, showing he can affect a game in multiple ways.[2] In 2025 at Washington State, his early statistical sample is small—2 rushing attempts for 8 yards and 5 catches for 42 yards through the reported games—so the appeal is more about projection than production right now.[4] For a team, he fits as a high-energy, multi-use RB who can create matchup value if you want speed, receiving skill, and versatility over pure volume.[2][3][4]
