Former UConn and now New Jersey Nets center Josh Boone and ex-Indiana guard Marshall Strickland are the two obvious choices for most notable Carroll County basketball players in recent memory.
Beyond those two, coming up with a list of other recent Carroll County players to play for major DI programs is difficult, something Winters Mill guard Cammeron Woodyard was extremely cognizant of.
“I don’t play in Baltimore and I don’t play in a place where there’s a lot of people recruited,” Woodyard said.
Thankfully for Woodyard, his location didn’t stop him from joining the likes of Boone and Strickland at the high-major level. The 6-foot-5, 195-pound shooting guard verbally committed to Penn State on Feb. 17.
Woodyard picked Penn State over offers from Longwood, Loyola, UMBC and Youngstown State. He was also receiving interest from Holy Cross.
Woodyard credited Winters Mill coach Dave Herman and his AAU coach on the Maryland Mavericks, Thomas Caviness, with getting the word out to college coaches.
