Shooter Casey Woodring to Join Friars as Recruited Walk-on

Casey Woodring, the class of 2013 Cushing Academy guard by way of Connecticut, will attend Providence as a recruited walk-on. The 6’2 Woodring has been one of the best shooters in the New England prep circuit over the past three seasons, years in which he appeared in three straight NEPSAC title games.

Teaming with Providence recruits Kaleb Joseph and Jalen Adams at Cushing this past season, Woodring was a key cog in a group that won NEPSAC’s Class AA title over St. Andrew’s. The dazzling Adams hit a 35 foot buzzer beater in that game for the title.

Prior to attending Cushing, Woodring spent a pair of seasons playing for Adam Finkelstein at Choate. In 2011, Choate won the NEPSAC Class A championship, and in 2012 they reached the finals once again before falling to a terrific Salisbury team led by Syracuse-bound star Chris McCullough and the underrated Samuel Dingba. Choate went 42-7 in his two seasons there.

Woodring scored over 1,100 points in his career and was effective when playing in a variety of tournaments in Rhode Island this past season, most notably the famed National Prep School Invitational (NPSI) in February in which he scored 27 points in two wins against Bridgton Academy and Blair Academy.

Soon after the NPSI, Woodring had an 18 point, seven assist, four steal game against Tabor Academy (featuring PC 2015 recruit Jarred Reuter).

His teams have gone a combined 66-12 the past three seasons.
