| Compton is a quick linebacker who has skyrocketed up the rankings after convincing scouts on the camp circuit. He moves well and shows great ball instincts on film. He is not the biggest linebacker physically, but plays big on the field. He is as good in pass coverage as he is against the run. |
| Biography: |
| Will Compton starred as a running back and safety last year for North County. In nine games he had 455 yards rushing on 64 attempts averaging 7.1 yards per carry while catching 51 passes for 855 yards for a 16.8 yard average. On defense he had 70 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and an interception; Compton benches 325 pounds, squats 390 and has a 30-inch vertical leap.
Compton reports a 3.7 core GPA and a 21 ACT.
Compton: "I can change direction quickly and move well sideline-to-sideline. I have great hitting ability and am fast I play very aggressive and like being a leader on the field.
"I want to work on my pass coverage and cover the running back one-on-one. I also want to work on dropping back in zones better."
