High school athletic career

Danny played football at North Platte High School in North Platte, Nebraska, breaking many records, almost all of which stand today. He ran track for a few years and broke his school's 100 meter record at 10.5 seconds.

College athletic career

In 2004, Woodhead began attending Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska. He quickly amassed many rushing yards and broke many records. In 2006, through 12 games, he had rushed for 2,740 yards, a new all-division single season rushing record,^[1] surpassing Kavin Gaillaird. His rushing yards for 2006 were 2,756. He also led his team to the NCAA Division II playoffs in 2006, losing to Northwest Missouri State University.
Woodhead was a Harlon Hill Trophy candidate in 2004, 2005 and 2006. He won the trophy in 2006.
There is some discussion among Nebraskans as to whether or not Woodhead was recruited by the University of Nebraska.
When interviewed, Woodhead stated that Nebraska never showed much interest in him and that he wanted to go somewhere where he was wanted. Chadron State showed a lot of interest in him, and that's where he ended up.
The Atlanta Falcons came to Chadron State College to scout Danny Woodhead and his 40 yard dash time was 4.41 (electronic).
