According to The Draft Network’s Ryan Fowler, the Chargers hosted Boston College defensive back Jaiden Woodbey on a top-30 visit.
A highly touted recruit out of St. John Bosco High School, Woodbey began his career at Florida State. He recorded 59 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, a sack, and seven pass deflections as a true freshman but suffered a knee injury in 2019.
Woodbey rehabbed back from the injury but wasn’t fully healthy himself the following year before electing to transfer to Boston College. He appeared in 20 games, recording 104 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions, and five pass deflections.
Woodbey settled into a versatile role at BC. Over the course of two seasons, he played 600+ snaps in the box, 200+ at deep safety, 200+ in the slot and 100+ along the defensive line.
Woodbey was invited to the East-West Shrine Bowl in Las Vegas, NV.
At the next level, Woodbey’s versatility will serve him well, as he can line up against tight ends and running backs, move inside the box, and kick inside the slot.
With Brandon Staley, who covets interchangeable players on the defensive side of the ball, Woodbey is an ideal candidate.
Woodbey projects as a sixth or seventh-round selection.
