Cierre Wood: Smart Kid

“I felt it was a good decision for me not just in a football aspect but also a life aspect,” said Wood, a 6-foot, 195-pound five-star running back from Santa Clara (Calif.) Oxnard.

“When you’re an athlete, you should have more than just football to rely on. You should have also a Plan B and that’s why I chose Notre Dame. They have one of the strongest alumni systems out there. I wanted to be connected that way and be set for life after football.”

And, he thinks ND is the local nerd that gets beat up and has his lunch money stolen (DomerMQ can tell you all about this dynamic), and Cierre is the hero coming in to save the day:

“It’s like (Notre Dame is) the nerd that everybody is picking on,” Wood said. “Basically, I want to go there and not just me but everybody else who is coming too, we want to go there and change things around. We want to be known as the class that changed things around.”

Also, Cierre Wood is fast. That is good too.
