Glens Falls’ Football Phenom, Griffin Woodell, Earns UAlbany Scholarship

Former Glens Falls running back Griffin Woodell walked onto the UAlbany football team as a freshman last year and now he has been offered a full scholarship. The announcement was made on the scoreboard at Tom & Mary Casey Stadium after the teams practice on Friday. Woodell was named the team’s most improved offensive player during spring football.

Woodell – 5-foot-10, 194 pounds – was a four-year varsity player at Glens Falls High school, and as a senior rushed for an impressive 1,504 yards and scored 27 touchdowns – which also earned him the title of Class B North Offensive Player of the Year!

Woodell didn’t make it onto the field at all for UAlbany during the Fall season after being recruited as a walk-on, but had impressive runs during the Spring season.

The Great Danes kick off their 2023 season on Saturday, vs. Fordham. at 7:00 PM.
