Early life

Woodson was a military brat from birth, being born on the Fort Lewis Army base to Andre’ W. and Robin Woodson. As is typical for military families, the Woodsons moved numerous times before settling in Radcliff, Kentucky (a city at the gates of another Army base, Fort Knox) in 1994.

College

In 2003, Woodson was recruited to Kentucky as a redshirt. During his Freshman season, Woodson served as a backup to Shane Boyd, and appeared in seven games (including one start). For the 2005 season, Woodson was named as the starting quarterback. The Wildcats ended 2005 with a 3-8 record, with Andre' completing nearly 58 percent of his passes, while throwing for 1,644 yards.
After the 2006 spring practice, it appeared Woodson would lose his position to his backup, Curtis Pulley.^[1] Spurred by this, Woodson started spending more time lifting weights, began leading the team in practice, and soon became the choice for starting quarterback. The 2006 season, Woodson's junior season, was a break out season, with Woodson leading the Wildcats to a 7-5 regular season, and their first bowl win in 22 years, in the Music City Bowl. Not only did he lead his team, but also led the SEC in passing yards with 3,515,^[2] and became only the second Kentucky quarterback to throw 30, or more touchdowns in a single season. ^[3]
