Alex Woods brings size, patience, and a veteran feel to SMU’s 2026 O-line battle
In the 2026 season, Alex Woods is a 6-foot-3, 310-pound senior for SMU who has grown into a veteran presence after waiting his turn for several years; that experience matters in a line room where the Mustangs are being described as one of the ACC’s best. He’s in a live battle for a starting guard spot, and reports from camp say he and Abel Hoopii have both flashed, which tells you Woods has the power and steadiness coaches trust when the pressure hits. If your team wants a seasoned interior lineman with upside and toughness, he fits the profile.
