URI's Scoring Guard from the Early 2000s Era
Brian Woodward, a 6-3 guard for the Rhode Island Rams, averaged 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game with a 40.8% FG rate during his college career (graduated 2004), standing out as a versatile scorer and rebounder for his size. His differentiator was relentless intensity and physicality, grabbing boards like a forward while dishing smart passes—ideal for teams needing a tough, do-it-all backcourt leader. Post-college, he thrived overseas in Uruguay, proving durability; a gritty fit for programs valuing hustle over flash, though now 44, he's long past current play.
