Dean moved into first place with a 4.30-second 40-yard dash earlier in the day, topping Parris Campbell and Andy Isabella, who each ran 4.31-second times Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium. Dean was first given an unofficial time of 4.31, before the official time was announced as 4.30.
Woods later topped them all with a time of 4.29-seconds. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound safety also measured in with 31 5/8-inch arms and 9 1/8-inch hands. Woods had 79 tackles, four passes defensed, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries, a touchdown and 0.5 sack in 12 games in 2018 for the Rebels.
He also did 19 reps on the bench press and had a 34.5-inch vertical jump. Woods had a 122-inch broad jump.
