Playing career

High school and Tennessee

He was a key bench player in his freshman and sophomore seasons, but after his sophomore season ended both he and teammate Harris Walker were kicked off the Volunteers basketball team for undisclosed reasons. Woods transferred to Florida A&M to finish his collegiate career but was forced to sit the 2001–02 season due to NCAA transfer eligibility rules.

Florida A&M

Woods' career at Florida A&M was a historic one. In both of his seasons suiting up for the Rattlers he led NCAA Division I in three-point field goals made per game, while his 4.96 per game set an NCAA junior class record. He had a personal career high of 12 three-pointers made in a single game, which he achieved on March 1, 2003 against Coppin State. That season Woods made 139 threes and followed that up with making 140 in his senior season. He also led the Rattlers to their school's first-ever men's basketball postseason tournament victory in 2004 when Florida A&M defeated Lehigh in play-in game of the NCAA Tournament. After his senior season ended, Woods won the NCAA 3-Point Shootout contest by defeating Oregon's Luke Jackson 23 to 20 in the final round.
