Jordan Woodvine has the size and ability to play pretty much anywhere on the basketball court.

Friday afternoon the 5-foot-11 guard/forward declared the court that she’ll be playing on in college is at Boise State.

The South Salem High School senior signed a national letter of intent in a signing ceremony in South Salem’s library.

She committed to Boise State not long after winning the 6A state championship with South Salem’s basketball team in March. The Broncos want her to play on the perimeter.

“They’re recruiting me at the 3 position to give me the chance that if I have a mismatch they’ll post me up,” Woodvine said. “It gives me the chance to shoot and drive as well. It’s kind of like a mixture of all positions. That’s where they feel that I will be strong suited, but if it changes I’m willing to work anywhere they want at that school.”

Woodvine is a two-time first-team all-conference selection. She was second-team all-state as a junior after averaging 14.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game and as a sophomore was honorable mention all-state by averaging 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

Woodvine says she is undecided what she will major in at Boise State, but is considering math, design and human health and performance.

She connected with Boise State’s coaching staff from the time of her first contact with them.

“It’s pretty great,” Woodvine said. “It’s a really great program. Ever since they started recruiting me I really wanted to go there, and it was kind of always in the back of my mind. And then I went on my first visit there and I knew that that was my school.

“Signing is just so much stress relief. You know, the next four years of my life are going to be taken care of. It’s just a big relief of stress and happiness. I’m just overwhelmed.”
