Woodward Academy

And as you continue to just add depth and add talent to the interior of the defensive line, he's just another one of those dudes that can really take it over the top.

So another name I wanted to make sure I mentioned there, a new name that I wanted to bring to the table along the defensive line is four-star edge rusher Miles Tate out of Woodward Academy in Georgia.

And this is someone who...

The interest kind of popped up a couple of months ago when Steve Wiltfong mentioned him in the big long piece he did ahead of the Apple Cup and just what Washington's 2028 board might look like.

You know, "Get back to me when you can." My...

And then everybody's aspiring to go higher, so it's people who be in them positions who kids at Woodward Academy.

Right.

You know, it's pe- who, who might be behind on their daughter's tuition 'cause it's a tight month and they entrepreneurs and they working a few jobs.

I thought that was a good move.

Uh, another reason why Alabama lost the game was because of, uh, freshman Blake Corum for the Georgia Bulldogs, a safety from Woodward Academy here in Metro Atlanta.

He originally planned on going to Clemson, flipped to Georgia, and ended up signing with the Dogs.

He's on the special teams, and I tell you what, at the 10-minute mark in the fourth quarter, when Blake Corum ran down the, the field on that, uh, punt cover team, or the, the punt return team, and Stokowie White left that thing laying on the ground.

Memora?

Uh, Woodward Academy.

Woodward Academy.

Yeah.

That's the, that's right.

A couple times, too, they brought an extra man, so I don't know.

Without seeing the tape, obviously, yeah, Ernest Green got beat once, but Without seeing the take, they were bringing C.J. Hurd, kid out of Woodward Academy I covered in high school, who went down to FAU and transferred up to Vandy last year.

They were bringing him a lot off the edge.

And that's certainly a read from Gunner.

Well, say in the country, in the state.

Yeah, because, again, the game against Woodward Academy, I mean, that was just a classic.

And that if that was any case, if there is a loss that can show you how good you are.

Yes, that was the one.

They have winnable games on their schedule.

Tri-Cities, McIntosh, Noonan.

I think with them only losing to Woodward Academy by 10, I think that there's some other wins in here, and they could possibly get into the playoffs.

Look, the Creekside game on the road, that's a tall task, DJ.

Don't hold that against us.

But, you know, starting out with Woodward Academy coming in town on Thursday, uh, uh, to play, of course, uh, Northside.

And again, I know that was a 17 to 7 victory, 0 for for, uh, for Woodward Academy.

However, I think we, we earned a newfound respect even more so for-

Yes

They went up against a 6A powerhouse.

That defense kept 'em in the game, and, uh, I was there for that, and I saw Northside fighting hard.

Could've won that game, but Woodward Academy ends up, th- jumping out to that 14, nothing lead.
