Wake Forest safety Anthony Wooding Jr. brings experience, range, and back-end steadiness
Anthony Wooding Jr. is listed as a Wake Forest safety and profile pages show him at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, with a reputation built on versatility, tackling, and special-teams value rather than flash. Historical Wake Forest records show he contributed as a dependable run-support defender and turnover hunter, finishing his college career with 97 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and one fumble recovery. If the question is “why care?” the answer is simple: he looks like the kind of physical, assignment-sound defensive back who can stabilize a secondary and fit a team that values reliability over highlight-reel chaos.
