Upon further review, Corbin Woods has decided to stick with his original idea to play baseball in college and not try to become a collegiate football player.
Woods has signed a letter-of-intent to play ball at Heartland Community College in Normal, Ill., where he'll be an infielder or catcher.
Woods committed to Heartland last summer, but then he and the Xavier Saints enjoyed a magical season in football and he had second thoughts.
