The final act of Peyton Woodring’s recruiting story could have been set in Lucas Oil Stadium.

He worked out for only two schools. Alabama. Georgia. Those were the only two schools he set his mind and one very strong leg on kicking for.

Georgia went first with its specialist camp on June 2. The Bulldogs gained an early edge. When he worked out for Alabama on June 11, he soon came away from their camp with what he was looking for.
