**Peter Woods Shuts Down Transfer Rumors, Eyes Championship Run With Clemson**
Rumors swirled last season that star defensive lineman Peter Woods might leave Clemson for Alabama, adding extra tension to the Tigers’ playoff push. Some fans feared the Alabaster, Alabama, native would head home after the season—but Woods put those speculations to rest.
Over the weekend, he dismissed the transfer talk, telling reporters he remained fully locked in on Clemson’s future and ignored the outside noise. The Alabama rumors? Just that—rumors. While many suspected as much, Woods’ public confirmation provided the clarity fans wanted.
But he didn’t stop there. The junior defensive tackle made it clear this year’s team has a different mindset: If they don’t believe they can win a national title, what’s the point? That championship mentality could be the key to overcoming past shortcomings—and it’s surely reassuring for Dabo Swinney, who returns a loaded roster.
Woods, coming off a strong two-year stretch (54 tackles, 12 TFLs, 3 sacks), is poised for a monster 2025 season. An All-American campaign—and a national title run—are within reach.
And for those still wondering? He’ll be chasing those goals in Clemson orange, not Alabama crimson.
