Woodard played football for both head coaches Jim Chapman and Joe Kimball from 1992 to 1995. He was the first player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, finishing with 1,166 in 1992, and held the single-season rushing record until 2007. He is second all-time in rushing yards (2,315), a record he held until 2008. During his stellar career, Woodard had nine 100-yard games with a career-best of 222 against Canisius in 1992. He is one of five players in program history to rush for at least 200 yards in a game and still holds the record for the longest run from scrimmage, a 94-yard TD against Canisius. Woodard held the single-season record for most rushing yards per game and most rushing yards per game by a freshman (116.6 in 1992) until both were surpassed in 2012. He had four straight 100-yard games in 1992 and is currently fifth all-time in all-purpose yards with 2,940. Following graduation from Mercyhurst, Woodard worked five years as a sportscaster for Erie Television Station WICU before shifting to the financial services industry.
