Macon Touchdown Club

Nick Woodford – RB – Northeast High School

Nick is the first recipient of the newly named award to honor longtime Macon native Edgar Hatcher. Coach Hatcher has meant so much to local athletes, coaches and the Macon Touchdown Club. We wanted to recognize him on a annual basis with this award.

In only his sophomore year, Nick Woodford has become one of the most productive running backs in the state of Georgia. He and his Northeast Raiders have become a force across the state rushing the football. In 2022, Nick led the state in rushing in all classifications until the final game of the year. He fell just short of being the state’s leading rusher by only 170 yards. Helping his team reach the Elite 8 playoff game, the sophomore running back rushed for 2,746 yards on only 273 attempts averaging 10.1 yards per carry. Along the way, he scored 40 rushing touchdowns during the season. Nick also added 10 receptions for 139 yards and 3 touchdowns. During the season, Nick’s rushing totals made him the all-time rushing leader in the history of Bibb County. Nick was awarded for his efforts by being named All-Region, the Region 2 AA Player of the Year, and 1st team All-State.
