“Will had one of the great prep football careers in Florida history. In part because Will was so good this season, Jesuit jumped out to big leads quickly in many games and then didn’t throw the ball much. Will’s incredible, 37-2 TD-to-interception ratio speaks to how well he performed this season.”
