Cierre Marcelle Wood (born February 21, 1991) is an American football running back who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Notre Dame. He has been a member of the Houston Texans, the New England Patriots, and the Buffalo Bills.

High school career

During his junior year, he had 2,612 yards rushing with 34 TDs. Wood was a USA Today All-American in 2008. He was also selected to play in the 2009 U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Wood was listed as the No. 8 running back in the nation.[1] He chose to attend Notre Dame over USC, UCLA, and California.

College career

After redshirting in 2009, Wood emerged on the depth chart as the No. 2 running back in 2010. He was used sparingly over the first few games, but after an injury to starter Armando Allen, he started the final six games where he recorded 603 yards on 119 carries and 3 TDs, and 20 receptions for 170 yards and 2 TD's. In his junior year, he took over the starting role. He recorded 1,102 yards on 217 carries (5.1 AVG) and 9 TD's, and 27 receptions for 187 yards. In 2012, Wood had been suspended for the opening two games, against Navy and Purdue, for violating team rules.[2] In the final 11 games, he rushed for 742 yards on 114 carries (6.5 avg) and four touchdowns after splitting carries with classmate Theo Riddick.
