Will is an explosive guard who lives in attack mode and puts constant pressure on the defense the moment he puts the ball on the floor. He gets downhill with sick handles, wicked change of pace, and real blow-by speed that leaves defenders guessing and reaching. Contact does not slow him down one bit, as he powers through traffic, rises above bodies, and finishes strong at the rim. The bounce is real, whether it shows up on fierce throw-downs or when he goes up and makes his presence known on the boards. Do not sleep on the jumper either, because he can bring the rain from deep with a smooth, confident stroke.

What makes Will even tougher to deal with is how much he brings to the rest of the floor. When defenses collapse, he shows good court vision and can drop sweet dimes to teammates in rhythm. He keeps pressure on help defenders and forces rotations that open things up for everyone else. On the defensive end, he creates havoc by picking pockets, jumping lanes, and instantly turning stops into instant offense. His speed changes keep ball handlers uncomfortable, and that pressure adds up over the course of a game.

After dealing with an injury last season, Will has come back with force and purpose. He is currently averaging 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals per game, stuffing the stat sheet while impacting winning. His biggest improvement has been his added strength and jumping ability, which shows up when he absorbs contact, explodes off the floor, and finishes plays that were not there before. This season, his focus is locked in on perimeter shooting and tightening his handles, knowing that added consistency from deep only stretches defenses further.

Will's goals are, individually, to earn first-team all-conference honors or be named player of the year. As a team, the mission is to win conference and make a run to state. Looking ahead to next season, he is excited to build on chemistry with returning teammates while also sharing the floor with players he has not yet competed alongside.

What fires him up most are winning moments. And ones at the rim, stepping in to take charges, and scoring in close games are where his energy is intense. When facing adversity, he stays grounded by trusting his teammates, focusing on what he can control, and bringing extra effort every possession without letting frustration creep in.

The work is starting to draw attention. Will currently holds two D2 offers from Michigan Tech and South Dakota Mines, with interest coming from other D2 programs and a few D1s continuing to track his progress closely.

I assess that Will brings real pressure with his downhill attack, strength through contact, and ability to impact the game as both a scorer and playmaker. His rebounding, defensive swagger, and ability to turn stops into instant offense give a college program a guard who can swing momentum quickly.

As his perimeter shooting continues to rise and his handles tighten, Will is evolving into a complete attacking guard who thrives in big moments. Expect continued growth as he takes on more responsibility, improves efficiency, and keeps putting stress on defenses from start to finish. Will is already havimg.a breakout season with a determination to make a statement every single game. Stay tuned.
