From The Sun's Stefen Lovelace:

Cammeron Woodyard has been dominating Carroll County boys basketball competition all year, averaging a little over 20 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists a game for Winters Mill. Playing outside the hotbed of Baltimore keeps most kids' names out of the national spotlight.

Woodyard’s play has garnered the attention from one Big Ten school though. The 6-5 senior verbally committed to a basketball scholarship with Penn State last weekend.

"He loves the school," Winters Mill coach Dave Herman said. "It’s close enough to home where his parents can see him play." It’s a great academic school and he really likes the college."
Westminster is a bit of a trek for most elite college programs, but Penn State head coach Ed DeChellis and his staff made the hike to see Woodyard’s talent.

"They’ve probably seen him play in five games," Herman said. "They’ve been to practice once. They’ve seen him a lot. I think (information) got to them [that] there was a pretty good player down this way."

Once the coaches saw Woodyard’s skill set, they knew that he’d fit in well as a Nittany Lion.

"He shoots it well and for a kid 6-5, he’s very athletic," Herman said. "For a kid 6-5, he’s able to handle and shoot and pass; you just don’t see a lot of kids that can do that."

Woodyard also drew interest from Holy Cross, Youngstown State, Jacksonville and Loyola.

This season Penn State is 12-13 and 4-9 in the Big Ten. They have struggled mightily since losing leading scorer, Geary Claxton, to a knee-ligament injury that will force him to miss the rest of the season.
