"Before she left, she left me with something I would never forget," shared Woods in the speech. "It was her last words to me. I came home that day after school and went straight to her room, as I always did, and she said to me, 'I thought you were going to model.'

"It later hit me what she was talking about, what she was asking of me. She wanted me to be a role model. Living in a spotlight of being a top recruit, playing under the bright lights at the (Los Angeles) Coliseum or constantly being watched by those following our footsteps, she wanted me to know, for us all to know, to be an example and a leader for those who are next."
