We often hear about athletes who move on to make the big bucks in their chosen sport.
One fellow however is different:
Woods, one of the Terps' top offensive linemen, has contacted military
recruiters, and the Montgomery County Police Department has contacted
Woods. He will play the last football game of his college career Friday
against Purdue in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla. It was a
decision he secretly made before the start of the season - while
daydreaming one day in a summer class - and one he said he will not
regret.
"I always wanted to serve my country," said Woods, who will turn
23 on Jan. 27. "I think freedom is an amazing thing. I love what this
country stands for. I want to give back for what we have. There's no
other high for me."
Amazing the people we raise here.
Addendum: Michelle has more.
