WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Tory Woodbury, one of the best quarterbacks in Winston-Salem State history, is heading to the John B. McLendon CIAA Hall of Fame.Woodbury, 37, who is the offensive coordinator at Johnson C. Smith, will be inducted at the CIAA basketball tournament in late February in Charlotte.
“Yeah, I won’t have far to go,” said Woodbury, a Winston-Salem native who lives in Charlotte and is in his second season as an assistant coach at Johnson C. Smith.
Woodbury, who was 6-2 and around 185 pounds when he graduated from Glenn High, wound up at WSSU after other options didn’t materialize. He was going to N.C. Central or Mount Olive on partial basketball scholarships.
“When I tell people my story they don’t really believe it, but I’ve always said hard work and a good support system will get you anywhere you want to go,” said Woodbury, who went on to have a three-year NFL career.
