Ohio State Confirms DB Jamie Wood Attempting Comeback

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? It sounded for a little while like Jamie Wood was done with football. Probably because he said he was done with football.
The safety out of Pickerington Central underwent his second major shoulder surgery back in January and it appeared his playing days at Ohio State were likely over. The former U.S. Army All-American has battled injuries for most of his career with the Buckeyes and there was talk of a medical shirt for the fifth-year senior.

Shoulder issues sideline two
Shoulder injuries have sidelined two fine young men on the football team: Jamie Wood, a fifth-year senior safety from Pickerington, Ohio, and fourth-year junior cornerback Adam Griffin, from Columbus.
Wood was trying to come back this season after multiple shoulder surgeries. He already has his bachelor's degree in strategic communications and his next step is graduate school. He played in 30 games, including four games last season before re-injuring his shoulder. He played in all 13 games in both 2010 and 2011 and he had 20 career tackles, including 11 solo stops.
