Will Lingold '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Will Lingold, and I have dreamed of being a student-athlete at the college level since I was 8

years old. More important than the dream is the work I have put in to achieve my goals. I have strived to

handle my business in the classroom and put myself in a position to pursue my dream. After finishing my

eighth-grade middle school season, I began working with the varsity program at the high school and

became a starter on the defensive line in the spring game of my eighth-grade year. I would find out after

the spring game that I had been playing with a completely torn meniscus for several weeks, including

the spring game. I had surgery, and it was a huge success. The only practices I have missed during my

high school career were because of the surgery and rehab. I was cleared to begin playing late in the

season of my freshman year, and when I did, I was back starting on the DL for a team that went to South

State. My sophomore year I made the switch to OL because it was what was best for my team, and even

though it were my first year at OL and I was just a sophomore, I started each game and finished the

season 2 nd team All-Conference. My junior year I switched back to my passion, DL. I love playing

defense. I love firing off the ball beating the OL and disrupting or stopping the play. I finished the season

1 st team All-Conference. I understand that in order to do what I love I must also love the grind and

working during the off-season. I work in the weight room and on the field year-round. I am and will

continue to be a good student and teammate. I will not be out-worked.
