DUKE UNIVERSITY RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB

Jacob Wood

Jacob, or, as team members call him, "Woody" (most likely for extreme virility) has been playing rugby for eight years, first picking up a ball in the ninth grade. Since then he has played for a variety of clubs at differing skill levels, including his high-school varsity team, the Alabang Eagles Men's Club (Manila, Philippines), the University of Edinburgh (Edinburgh, Scotland), Eno River Men's Club (Durham, NC), and the Philippine National Under 19's A-side.

Woody loves Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesus, and Discovery's Shark Week. He believes Pluto is still a planet at heart.

He is currently starting at the number eight position for Duke hopes to help the team prepare for the shift to Division I through his role as an organizer and leader at the club's Vice-President position.
