Woods Picks Up Offer from Alice Lloyd College
The recruiting trail is heating up for one of the region’s most skilled guards.
Gunnar Woods (2026 | SG) has officially received an offer from Alice Lloyd College, adding another big-time opportunity to his growing list as he continues to make noise across the Coalfields.
Woods, known for his smooth shooting stroke and ability to score at all three levels, has become a problem for opposing defenses. Whether it’s knocking down shots from deep, creating off the bounce, or stepping up in big moments, the Boyd County standout has proven he can take over a game.
His offensive versatility paired with his toughness and basketball IQ has made him one of the most intriguing guards in the mountains heading into his senior season. College programs are starting to take notice—and this latest offer is just another sign that his stock is on the rise.
Alice Lloyd College adds a strong piece to their recruiting board with Woods, a player who brings both production and leadership to the floor. His work ethic and consistency have helped separate him from the pack, and he continues to build momentum as his career progresses.
As recruiting continues to pick up, don’t expect this to be the last time Woods’ name is called.
The mountains keep producing. ⛰️🔥
And in a move that brings things full circle, Gunnar has returned to Louisa to finish out his senior year at Lawrence County High School with the friends he grew up with, adding even more excitement to the ending to his Senior year.
