Returning for a third season with the defensive secondary is former Univ. of Mississippi defensive back, Marcus Woodson.

Woodson made his coaching debut in August of 2005, after former Ole Miss recruiting coordinator and Millsaps head coach David Saunders offered him the position.

“I graduated from Ole Miss in May of ’05 and was blessed a couple months later to get the opportunity to coach at Millsaps,” Woodson said.

The Mississippi native attended Moss Point high school where he not only stood out as an honor roll student, but also contributed on the football field as well. During his high school career, Woodson helped lead his team to a pair of state championships and was selected to play in the Bernard Blackwell Classic and the Mississippi high school all-star game. He also earned all-region, all-coast and all-state recognition after his senior season from the Biloxi Sun-Herald.

At the college level, Woodson played in 18 games for Ole Miss until knee injuries forced him to end his career in 2003.
In his first two seasons with the Majors, Woodson has helped land Marcus Harris on the All-SCAC First Team, Ray Kline, Ross Rutledge and Michael Sims on the All-SCAC Second Team and David Cutler, Josh Hanna and Kirk Jackson on the Honorable Mention list.

In addition, Harris was named to Don Hansen’s Football Gazette All-American Team as an Honorable Mention and was thrice named to D3football.com’s National Team of the Week in 2006.
