Why Not Us?: Wade Woodaz sees a resurgence in the Clemson defense

Why Not Us?: Wade Woodaz Sees a Resurgence in the Clemson Defense

 

As Clemson University continues to redefine its identity on the field, one player is confident in the defense’s resurgence – Wade Woodaz. With his eyes set on a dominant defense, the linebacker is leading the charge for a program that, while still strong, is looking to reclaim its former defensive dominance. After years of being overshadowed by the offensive talent that powered the Tigers to national prominence, Woodaz believes it’s time for the defense to step back into the spotlight.

 

Woodaz, who transferred from Boston College, quickly made a name for himself in his first season with the Tigers. Known for his speed, physicality, and ability to read offenses, he embodies the blueprint that Clemson’s defense has relied on for years. Under the leadership of defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin, the Tigers’ defense has shown signs of resurgence, with Woodaz playing a pivotal role in bringing the unit back to elite status.

 

The shift in mindset that Woodaz has helped create revolves around a sense of pride and belief. “Why not us?” he frequently asks his teammates when discussing the potential for the Clemson defense. For too long, the team has been seen as merely a complement to the explosive offense. Woodaz, with his unyielding drive and focus on creating chaos for opposing offenses, is determined to flip that narrative.

 

Clemson’s defense has always been a key pillar of its success, with memorable players like Grady Jarrett, Dexter Lawrence, and Christian Wilkins helping to define their dominance in the past. However, recent seasons have seen the defense take a backseat to offensive playmakers. The shift in emphasis on returning to a stingy, hard-hitting defense is something that Woodaz champions every day in practice and during games.

With his leadership, Clemson’s defense is beginning to mirror the units that helped bring national championships to the program. A combination of returning talent and the infusion of fresh, energetic players like Woodaz has made the Tigers’ defense one to watch. Through his eyes, the vision for Clemson’s defensive resurgence is clear. “We’re not just here to play; we’re here to dominate,” he says with confidence.

 

As Clemson prepares for the upcoming seasons, one thing is certain: Wade Woodaz is ready to lead the charge and prove that the defense can once again carry the team to glory. It’s not just about competing—it’s about taking back the throne. And with players like Woodaz driving the effort, that goal is well within reach.
