Defensive end commits to Kansas

Quintin Woods, a 6-foot-6, 245-pound defensive end from Bakersfield (Calif.) Community College, on Saturday orally committed to Kansas University, according to Rivals.com.

Woods, who is known as a strong pass rusher, chose KU over Kansas State, Washington State, Arizona State, Boise State, and UTEP.

Woods played high school ball at Southwestern High in Flint, Mich. He signed with the University of Michigan in 2006, but needed to attend junior college for academics.

Woods had 80 tackles, eight sacks, and 14 tackles for a loss this past season.

“It feels real good to commit today,” he told Rivals.com. “I have a home to look forward to. Now I can work extra hard in the weight room and get to Kansas and contribute the best I can. I am glad this is all off my back and I’m ready to go to Kansas.”
