Georgia Military College running back and former Coffee Trojan Tyrese Woodgett has been flirting with a breakout game since he joined the Bulldogs’ roster this year. Saturday, it happened. A week after scoring 94 points against Community Christian College, the Bulldogs defeated the Sussex County Community College Skylanders 84-12 in Milledgeville.
And Woodgett was a big reason why.
Woodgett has been a part of GMC’s 2025 campaign but he hasn’t had a day like he did on Saturday. The freshman rushed for 218 yards on 11 carries – a 19.8 yard per carry average – with three touchdowns. His longest run was 90 yards. He also caught two passes for 57 yards and another touchdown, with a long of 54 yards. Those were the two longest plays from scrimmage for GMC.
Kicker Tug Vaughn, another former Trojan, was a perfect 10 out of 10 on extra points (Oisin Matthews made the other two extra points). He also amassed 705 yards on 11 kickoffs with three touchbacks.
Up front, Kyler Smith and Jerzabeon Grant continued to plow their way through the defense, opening up holes for Woodgett and the rest of the Bulldogs’ offense.
GMC is 3-1 overall with a 1-0 conference record.
While the Coffee graduates at Georgia Military are having great seasons, they aren’t the only ones who are doing well. Charleston Southern has two Trojans in the secondary – Jayden Hancock and Paulk. Both had a tackle in Charleston Southern’s 35-28 loss to Lindenwood on Saturday. Charleston Southern is still lookin for its first win this year.
West Georgia linebacker Jyarius Carter recorded a tackle in the Wolves’ 35-31 win over East Tennessee State. West Georgia is 3-0 on the season.
Jaydon Vester took the field on Thursday night in the Clark Atlanta Panthers’ 26-21 win over Fort Valley State. That game was televised on ESPN2.
Tulane running back Maurice Turner, the only former Trojan in college football’s FBS, did not play for the second week in a row. Turner has been dealing with an ankle injury though he did dress out for the Green Wave’s game against Duke on Saturday. Coaches are optimistic that Turner will play this weekend against Ole Miss.
