Corey Woods joined the Wofford staff in February of 2022 as tight ends coach and moved over to coach the offensive line in 2023 as the run game coordinator.
In 2024, the team was 5-7 overall and the offensive line allowed only 22 sacks on the season to rank fourth in the Southern Conference. Center Anthony Garcia earned All-Southern Conference second team honors. Luke Moise started all twelve games and was named to the SoCon All-Freshman Team.
During the 2023 season, the offensive line worked in front of three different starting quarterbacks. The rushing offense averaged 124 yards per game.
In his first season at Wofford, the tight ends played a bigger role as the offense transitioned to the pro spread. During the summer of 2022 he completed a Bill Walsh NFL Diversity Coaching Fellow with the Washington Commanders, working with the tight ends.
Woods spent four seasons on the coaching staff at Limestone, most recently as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. In the fall of 2021 the Saints averaged 272.8 yards per game in total offense and lineman Cameron Thomason earned second-team All-SAC honors.
Prior to playing a reduced spring schedule in 2021 due to COVID-19, Woods mentored an offense that ranked fifth in the South Atlantic Conference with 356.6 yards per game in 2019. The Saints placed several players in the league’s top-10 in multiple offensive categories while two offensive players were named All-SAC.
Woods spent the 2018 season coaching tight ends with the Atlanta Legends of the Alliance of American Football before the league suspended operations. He also completed Bill Walsh Minority Internships with both the Chicago Bears in 2018 and the Buffalo Bills in 2019. He worked with the offensive line while with the Bears and coached running backs with the Bills during OTA’s and training camp with both franchises.
He spent one year as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach with the Saints under former head coach Mike Furrey, helping to guide the team through the program’s first year in the South Atlantic Conference.
Woods joined the Limestone staff after spending four years as the offensive line and tight ends coach at Kutztown University. During the 2016 campaign, the offensive line helped set a school record with 459 rushing yards in one game while averaging 226 rushing yards per game on the year.
The offensive line, which was anchored by 2016 Gene Upshaw Award winner Jordan Morgan, set a team record with 29 rushing TDs and extended an 18-game streak with a least 100 yards on the ground. Woods’ line also set a team record by allowing a program-low 14 sacks during the 2016 season. Morgan, a two-time All-American, was taken by the Chicago Bears in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft after earning an invite to the Reese’s Senior Bowl. He was the PSAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2016.
A four-year standout on the offensive line at the University of Akron, Woods made 48 consecutive starts and was named to the All-MAC Team as a junior. He signed with the New England Patriots in 2011, and then with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League before joining the staff at Kutztown.
Woods graduated from Akron with a bachelor’s degree in business organization and communication.
