Woodruff didn't see a lot of playing time over the years for Virginia, but the fourth year walk on provided one of the best feel good moments of the entire College World Series. The summer of Woody continued as he was one of two Wahoo student-athletes, along with National Champion tennis player Mitchell Frank, who attended the ESPYs to accept the 2015 Capital One Cup on stage.

Lookin' sharp, Woody.
Now the mechanical engineer is one of ten finalists as fan favorites among the NCAA's Elite 89 Award winners. The award is designed to recognize an athlete who performed at the National Championship level for their sport, but also maintained academic excellence. Each Elite 89 Award winner has the highest GPA among those competing at the championship site for each NCAA sport. Woodruff did just that with his 3-4, 2 RBI performance in Game 2 of the College World Series and carrying a ridiculously impressive 3.725 GPA. In Mechanical Engineering. At Virginia.
