ECU’s old-school, injury-tested trench grinder
Will Towery’s ECU profile is built on toughness and persistence: he arrived as a tight end, bulked up into an offensive lineman, and battled through a back injury and a left-knee setback while still pushing for a starting role in 2010. The differentiator here is durability-plus-development — not flashy star power, but a hard-earned, coach-friendly frame and work ethic that suggest real value for a team wanting a reliable interior line piece. His story reads like a grinder’s resume, not a highlight reel.
