William Ashworth brings downhill, tackle-first energy to Northwestern State’s secondary
William Ashworth is a freshman defensive back for Northwestern State in the 2026 season, listed at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds and wearing No. 10. He arrives with real production from Rockwall HS, where he piled up 243 tackles in three seasons, including 104 as a junior and 85 as a senior, which signals a physical, high-motor defender who loves contact and cleans up plays. He’s a strong fit for a team that values instinctive run support and reliability over flash.
