Wooding has an impressive week on both offense and defense

OBERLIN — Von Wooding has had an impressive collegiate career to say the least.

Last week, in this space, we informed you that Wooding became the second all-time leading tackler in school history.

Wooding achieved another milestone during last week’s loss to Wittenberg. He scored his first career offensive touchdown. Wooding played both ways for the Yeoman, rushing six times for 41 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Linsly School grad and Eastern Ohio native posted 14 more tackles and became just the second Oberlin player in history to surpass 300 career tackles. For good measure, he also forced a fumble and had a tackle for loss.

Oberlin is now 1-7 on the season and has a game at Depauw University this week before Wooding and his fellow seniors will be recognized in their home finale against Allegheny.
