The defensive back secured the lone turnover for the Cowboys defense with a tipped pass and his second of the preseason, highlighting his ball-hawking skills. In a league where turnovers can change the momentum of a game, Woods’ playmaking ability can be a valuable asset.

Buddy Johnson has also turned heads this preseason, consistently making a handful of nice plays. His touchdown-saving deflection against the Easton stick is just another example of his impact on the field. He has proven to be a reliable and valuable asset to the Cowboys defense.

After an impressive showing last week, running back Deuce Vaughn continued his impressive preseason showing off his elusive and tough running.

The sophomore running back led all running backs with nine carries for 53 yards, averaging 5.3 yards per carry. He had an 18-yard run that set up the Cowboys’ first touchdown.

Overall, Vaughn finished his preseason with 14 rushes for 87 yards and a 6.2-yard average. He had several impressive runs that really impressed the coaching staff.

Another preseason game, another touchdown for rookie receiver Ryan Flournoy. He’s made a strong case for himself on the field lately, with 7 receptions for 53 yards and 2 touchdowns in just his last two games.

His ability to create separation in the end zone undoubtedly catches the eye of the coaching staff. Not only is Flournoy proving he belongs on the roster, but he’s also making a strong case to earn some early playing time once the regular season gets underway.
