William Thornton

I am originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, and moved to Michigan at the age of seven. My background has shaped me into someone who values hard work, discipline, and being surrounded by strong, like minded individuals. Family, accountability, and commitment are core to who I am, both on and off the field. I play both center and guard, and I take pride in my versatility on the offensive line. At center, I understand the responsibility of leading the line, making calls, and ensuring the offense is set every play. At guard, I bring physicality, strong technique, and consistency in both the run and pass game. I embrace doing whatever is needed to help the team succeed. Athletically, I bring a well rounded foundation. I played hockey for 10 years, which developed my toughness, balance, and competitive mindset. I transitioned to football in 8th grade and quickly found my passion for the game. Since then, I have fully committed myself to improving every aspect of my performance. I train with a high level of discipline working with personal trainers five days a week and participating in on-field training twice a week. In addition, I take initiative to put in extra work independently to continue developing my technique, strength, and football IQ. I take pride in being coachable, driven, and committed to continuous improvement. I am looking for an opportunity to contribute to a program where I can grow, compete, and be part of a team culture that aligns with my values.
