RENO, Nev. - Running back Ky Woods was named a nominee for the 2026 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team Monday morning. The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team recognizes student-athletes and head coaches from every level of college football who are making an impact through community service, academic achievement and leadership.

Woods enters his third season with the Wolf Pack in 2026 and has developed into one of the programs leaders on and off the field. One of the senior members of the team as he heads into his fifth season of college football, Woods has stepped up as a program leader, playing a key role especially as one of the program's faces in the community.

That role included Woods serving as the team's primary emcee during June's Third Annual Nevada Football and Regional Law Enforcement Charity Softball Game and Battle of the Badges Tournament. Behind the scenes, Woods has also worked with various units within the athletics department regarding the organization of football student-athletes when a community service event is on the horizon.

He has also participated in Visit Reno Tahoe's Packed Days Initiative which highlights the off-field activities of Wolf Pack student-athletes. Through the creation of social media reels, among other channels, the initiative platforms a first-person perspective of Nevada student-athletes' favorite locations in the Reno Tahoe area.

Over his previous two seasons at Nevada, Woods has appeared in 25 games at running back and as the team's primary kick returner. His 2025 campaign was highlighted by a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against San José State, Nevada's first such score since 2015, and a 47-yard touchdown reception against Middle Tennessee.

The 2026 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team will be announced in September and include 22 student-athletes and one honorary head coach. One student-athlete will also be selected as team captain and receive the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy.
