Woodson has been in coaching since 2005, getting his start at Millsaps College. He comes to Arkansas with SEC familiarity from his time at Auburn. In 2018, Woodson joined the AU staff as defensive backs coach. He added the recruiting coordinator title to his Auburn duties in 2019. Woodson coached first-round NFL Draft selection Noah Igbinoghene during his time at Auburn.
At Auburn, Woodson worked alongside Travis Williams, who was hired as Arkansas’ new defensive coordinator last month.
