VMI’s Lengthy DL Sophomore with Rare Wingspan and High-Impact Depth
Will Ferguson, a 6’3”, 250-lb sophomore defensive lineman for VMI, stands out with a rare 6’7” wingspan that gives him elite length to disrupt passing lanes and control gaps—traits not captured in basic stats. As one of two recruits from Atlantic Shores, he brought immediate depth to VMI’s defensive unit after helping the Seahawks in his prior season. Though no 2025 or 2026 stats are available, his physical profile and intensity level suggest he’s a high-upside fit for teams needing a disruptive, length-based DL. With no reported injury history and a sophomore’s growing confidence, Ferguson offers personality traits of reliability and competitive fire, making him a strong candidate for teams valuing physical differentiators over pure stat lines.
