[St8fan92]

future 1st round pick...

[itsame3430]

Wow, all- American my ass. You tackle like you're afraid to get your in the way. It's funny to watch cuz u get all psyched up when your team made most of the play for you, that just shows how cocky you are.

[MrKingdrew22]

@itsame3430 DO I SMELL HATIN 

[JA7SEVEN7]

That wasn't fair lol

[24kevin26]

watch my highlights please



[iliv2bpro247]

[bigbirdgrappler60]

[Mattimazing]

Hahahaha he absolutely destroyed that blocker on the punt 6:22

[sac3074]

[TheTrae1234]

Just a man playing wit small boys SMDH

[hardonsports]

@TheTrae1234

hes a legit 6'8 he will always be a man playing boys

[MichiganState2013]

Hell yeah, he is a Spartan Greg Jones can teach this kid all he needs to know

[bzurvalec]

It's a testament to the job Dantonio is doing in East Lansing that we're able to bring in this caliber of athlete. I'd look for this kid to make an immediate impact in 2010 as MSU football continues to head in the right direction.

[lonzhao]

all are blacks? both teams from africa?

[bigtm94]

he cant tackle all he does his grab da jersey

[Thebindiesel55]

[cccwarrior81]

7:51 DAYUMMM

[Rico662]

[Youcheater75]

MSU baby

[spartanhero9]

An absolute read and destroy beast. Wow

I can see why every colleges was knocking on his door.

[bzurvalec]

This kid's a BEAST. It's gonna be a lot of fun watching him play for the green and white.

[msuspartans03]

too tall + greg who = 3peat over scUM

[Rico662]

wait till will conditions under coach manny we are going to beat the hell out of michigan for a while and push ohio state as soon as next year

[leftcoastenvy810]

Well today is signing day, and he has signed a LOI with MSU. I can't wait to watch him play for the Spartans! Go Green!

[bas313]

Theres alot of talent in michigan.Theyre underarted for the talent they have.

[jerkinrangersthebomb]

he plays for michigan number 2 and he is a de

[zachbird27]

he just had to commit to msu instead of uofm.

[chrisdouglasroberts]

Type in "Ray Mccallum goes off" to see him vs. Keith Appling...shay

[DJKID777]

yes i did

[victory4msu26]

How can you think Deacon sucked? DId you ever see him play? Dude was an animal.

[jamesdouglasallen]

I am sure he'll be great, but I'd like to see more hitting in this video and fewer arm tackles.

[balmdeezy]

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I actually feel bad for Rich Rodriguez. The guy has no class and no clue. His gimmick offense and defense will never work in the Big Ten. Go Green!

[coudu8ed]

if he stops arm tackling he could be a beaaaast, not that he isnt already

[UHDUDEsss]

he had 31 sacks in one freaking season

[wingsfan63]

hey michallday u r a fucking tool what was michs record this year and who has gotten beat the last two years haha sry boss ..by the way whos goin to a bowl ???? hahahahahahah

[mikerobinsonn]

[MICHIGANallDAY2]

[DJKID777]

[UAworkinon13]

[kentuckyskaterPRO]

damn #2 beast

[zoromidget]

he already commited to Michigan state look it up on rivals hahahaha

[thabest1995]

i'm going to his playoff game against adlai stevenson tonight.

on rivals stevenson is #44 and southeastern is #69.

[BOINKINU]

This young man will end up at Bama

[victory4msu26]

Gohlston didnt want to go to michigan because he didnt want to play for an asshole like RR so what makes you think he would want to play for Saban?

[BOINKINU]

Because the asshole Saban has his teams playing for National Championship and if an asshole can get you to "The League" that is who he will play for.

[victory4msu26]

And in two years when Saban leaves for some team that gives him more money what will you be saying? Its gonna happen he has done it everywhere. He won the championship at LSU then bolted so dont say (oh well he neevr had a good team like Alabama) Gohlston will be a Spartan.

[cshsfootball]

thats why alabama is going to raise his salary every year.

[Hustle256Man]

Naw Saban not going anywhere. Anything any team can offer him Bama can match it. He loves it down here in Bama.

[MICHIGANallDAY2]

@Hustle256Man did u say u rather go to mich st than michigan ??? lol haha was that a joke or were u serious?

[Hustle256Man]

Hell yea, especially with Rich Rod there for 1 more year.

[MICHIGANallDAY2]

your crazxy lol they have had a young ass team for two straight years its not anything to do with rich rod half these players arnt even his

[mikerobinsonn]

@Hustle256Man LOLOLOLOL sabans gna win the NC this year wit bama and he's gone after this or next year, probably this year, the mans a fucking liar dude, he's not gonna sit tight wit bama accept it, he's no different than larry brown of the nba, says one thing, does another, check his history.

[Hustle256Man]

If he wins a NC he can leave. With the players we have we will win another. Your hopeing he comes back to you huh LOL.

[MICHIGANallDAY2]

lol people are stupid man

[chrisdouglasroberts]

@BOINKINU

Shame on u both! My mom said that he is going to Florida! She said that he got a gators tatoo last week for the state playoffs and after they win the state championship he told my mom that he was signing with the Florida Gators!!!! My mom is always right to she predicted Ronald Johnson to USC and Joe Barksdale to LSU!

[Yjmrl]

Your mom is a god damn liar. Lmao.

[victory4msu26]

What happened to Will going to Bama?

[BOINKINU]

Don't think we will miss him to much. Guess he wants to play in the Motor City Bowl instead of a BCS game

[victory4msu26]

Only the thing is that the motor city bowl is no longer around.

[electioneer1313]

@BOINKINU how'd that work out for ya?

[cousins851]

Hate to break it to you, but this young man is a Spartan. FOR LIFE. Plus, Bama has enough talent. It's time to spread some of that talent back to Michigan State. You already took Mark Ingram from us :(.

[wilkijoe15]

@BOINKINU  already Going to Michigan State!!!!!

[up300tv]

damn son i got to school wit them niggas but i was on JV

[balmdeezy]

Listen, little brother. Michy will NEVER beat Michigan State with Rodriguez as the head coach.

Yes, you have a fine tradition. But you are a scrub university with ugly chicks. Is it that hard to understand?

MSU > UM-AA at everything while Rodriguez is the coach. MSU = UM-AA when they hire a coach replacement after Rodriguez's firing.

[MikeyD9909]

u lost to ND we beat ND you lost to central we blew out eastern and western were 3-0 ur 1-2 if u think your gonna win this year your high u had 1 decent year not good now u think ur the shit hes only going to MSU so he can stand out we all know a good player could stand out in a crappy school

[balmdeezy]

Yes, Flor. is an inferior institution to Michigan State. But that doesn't mean it isn't better than Alabama.

[balmdeezy]

Flor has had success recently in athletics. But it's still a crummy institution that wasn't good until 15 years ago.

[chrisdouglasroberts]

Yeah but my mom said MSU is a worse instituion and thats one of the reasons he's going to Florida. UPDATE: His tatoo says Gholston's Gators and it has all of Floridas rivals in the gators mouth. My mom said that it look so cool.

[MikeyD9909]

where does ur mom come up with this?

[chrisdouglasroberts]

My mom said he decommited to Florida. I knew he would go to Urban Meyer, he's such a great guy. Plus Tim Tebow promised to teach Will how to be a great member of the Gator Nation! Wow William Gholston is gonna be the next great Florida Gator. Well i guess theres only 1 thing left to say.... IT'S GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR!

[kylorl3]

he commited to msu so no, hes going to be the next great spartan

[chrisdouglasroberts]

No he's not, he going to Florida homie. My mom said so and he looks more like a gator than a spartan...shay. My mom said he got a Florida tatoo yesterday to.

[TheBergman1jr]

Gholston: You should say no to State and head up the highway to CMU. We have a lot of starters coming back on D this year, but we will need you next year. After Lafevour beats East Lansing, you might think about it. Come win a MAC Championship and player for a Defensive Player of the Year Award.

[victory4msu26]

I didnt notice this comment before but wow. Yeah CMU returns 10 starters on D but that D was also 104th in the country. Brining back bad players does not make them good.

[kylorl3]

msu was ranked last year, so why wouldnt he want to come here?

[chrisdouglasroberts]

LMAO! a shit load of teams were eranked last year, that doesn't mean somebodys gonna come to your school. Yeah MSU was ranked so was Florida and they won the national championship.....what did MSU win last year???? huh big boy? how bout them apples

[johneydriscoll]

yall lost wtf

[bauman4life]

it was a tie! what school u go to

[archdoggstate]

did you guys get a first down ... i don't remember one lol

[bauman4life]

lol if we did if we dident it was still atie lol im just saying he aint a beast like i though he would be i thought he was aqbout to do some crazy shit like jump ova the oline or somthin lol but u go to sc?

[DBURKEBABY9]

@bauman4life WHAT!!!! HOW DID YALL WIN IF YALL DIDN'T SCORE LIKE WHY LIE LIKE COACH SAID DID YALL EVEN GET A FIRST DOWN AND ARE YOU EVEN RANKED OR TALKED ABOUT MY BRO IN COLLEGE YOU NEED TO FIND OUT HOW TO DO WHAT EVA IT IS HE DOIN SO U CAN GET THERE STOP HATIN BRO NOT A GOOD LOOK

[balmdeezy]

I see Michigan State having the best defense in the country once this kid gets on campus. It's going to be scary.

[Toothpick978]

is this kid the real deal or is he similar to vernon? (who im really pulling for)

[victory4msu26]

He is the real deal. He will be up to around 270 or 280 lbs by the time he gets to MSU. He is gonna be a real beast. It would be sweet if MSU were to land CJ Olanyian as well that would be an outstanding pass rush.

[FukqU]

Latest is, he just said that he is willing to take visits to any school that wants him to play LB, he hasnt played with his hand down, and doesnt want to be a DE. perhaps he is just sending a message to MSU, still nothing is a done deal till NLOI day.

[victory4msu26]

After word of that came out Gohlston said himself that he is not going anywhere but MSU. Like I said earlier MSU will be running more 3-4 sets once Gohlston gets there using him like a Demarcus Ware or Shawn Merriman.

[victory4msu26]

Now Gohston told Joe Rexrode that he is not going to take any other vists and will play whatever position gets him on the field the fastest.

[FukqU]

Well what interview by him is the truth? as both he will take visits and he wont have come from the same lips., HIS.. Is he a liar?

[victory4msu26]

In an interview with LSJ, Spartanmag and Hondo he said he wasnt taking vists and just misunderstood the question. Also the Freepress admitted they were wrong. What a surprise that sorry excuse for a newspaper was wrong again.

[victory4msu26]

MSU is planing on using variations of the 3-4 when Gohlston arrives. They did it last year a little bit and will be using it some this year as well but when Will gets there they will be using it a lot more. It will be like what OSU did when Vernon Gohlston was there. Will is still going to be playing some DE but will also be playing some LB at Michigan State. Just clearing that up for some people that dont already know.

[TheBergman1jr]

central vs state... you are going to lose Gholston that day.

[victory4msu26]

Yeah I'm sure that Will hates watching his future team kick ass. If you seriously think Will is going to go anywhere but MSU then you are a dumbass and if you think MSU is going to lose to Central then you should never be allowed to talk about college football again.

[MikeyD9909]

dumbass MSU had 1 good year and now u think their the shit you dont say anyithing about college football again

[victory4msu26]

1:10 looks like Will is takin down his future Teamate Tony Lippett. Does anyone know if that is Crockett he is playing against?

[insanity4289]

Just LIke his cousin this kid needs to work on tackling fundamentals. Swinging around your opponent to the ground wont work in college

[Rebel0129]

at :56 it looked like he had enough strength to sling tht QB to his own endzone

[gridironwarior84]

damn, I went up against andy phillips in pass rush drills at a couple of combines and i thought he was good... damn gholston just blows him out of the water in every concieveable way

[kyle17111]

by the time he gets to msu he will be like 280 lbs and probably taller

[lionsfan807]

cant wait to see him destroy gardner and the rest of the scUM

[pgj1026]

#1 in Michigan 2010 class!!

Victory for MSU!!!

[victory4msu26]

Now everyone one is downing my comment well no matter what you do what I said is true. Also Gohlston is still considered "raw" meaning that he has not even came close to reaching his potential and he still has racked up almost 40 sacks in the past two years. Once he reaches his potential which should be soon he is going to be scary good.

[hibbsjohn2]

At this point in his development, he's lightyears ahead of his brother..

We'll see what the Gholston genes do for him, but if the weightroom made the less athletic Vernon a 1st rounder, this kid should be good.

[victory4msu26]

Vernon isnt his brother. Vernon and Will are cousins.

[hibbsjohn2]

Yup, I messed up. I was told that and forgot. Good catch. Regardless, the genes should probably still be there.

[Lebron11200]

his cousin u meant

[hibbsjohn2]

Ha, yeah that's what I meant. victory4msu26 already corrected me on that and under that I complemented him on the catch. Not sure how the reply/comment things work on here and why they don't show up under the persons thread sometimes...

[007his]

its not final the vols would take him.

[victory4msu26]

All you guys ripping on him remember he owned every O-lineman in the PSL for the past two years. That includes Will Campbell, Kyle Bryant, Trevon Conrad, Darius Craft ect. This guy is a man child and had offers from everyone whos anyone in college football. Offers like USC, UF, OSU, ect. They would not be offering him if he couldnt play. He will tear up the big ten for at least three years.

[FukqU]

He was recruited as a DE, and NO way he can go up against a 6'8 310 lb tackle. Its a well known fact he cant play out of a 3 point stance to boot, and he would be a clutz at LB.. so just dont see him as a player..

[Cavan1984]

this guy is so meh! not one tackle on that video, its easy to collar tackle guys who weigh so much lighter..he'll get schooled at the next lvl

[Brewhaman]

nice pick up for the fartans, though I doubt he'll be a LB at the next level. Too big, and he won't have the speed needed to hang with Big Brother in the future.

That said, he'll be a monster in the trenches, wish him all the luck over there at couch burning university.

[LightButDark575]

This makes me really happy to be a spartan fan :). He's gunna be a playmaker when he arrives on campus.

[FukqU]

He will play LB more then likely inside as he is to slow to play outside and no way can he play DE as the tackles would eat him alive. Plus he cant get in a 1 point stance. perhaps the most over rated player ever, well besides Tom Savavge.

But for the aggies, i guess he would be a good get .. shugs....

[Rebel0129]

It's not easy to eat alive a 6'7'' 250 pound powerhouse....

[joemarch17]

Yeah I hope he doesn't get in a one point stance. Hopping around on one foot would be kinda hard. you mean 3 point stance. But saying that one of the best DE's in the nation just shows your lack of college football knowledge. Plus he's not slow 4.6 forty. Also after he puts on weight he will be fine in the trenches.

[scott4515]

Welcome to the Spartan Nation TOO TALL....a welcome addition to the MSU Defense

[nikolatesla08]

it must be fun being that big and playing football

[GamblerLV]

go anywhere but that farm school

[VanellaSchnellaDACRU]

Not many 6'7" LBs

[westonsz]

Why would Gholston want to go to UT? UT does not even fill it's stadium in off years. UT's had a piss poor season of it's own last year.

[810steveo]

to u vol fans he said that he dont want to play defensive end he wants to play lb and only the big ten are staying true to it i think he isnt leaving the state

[SK8BAMF]

1: 16 horse callor. To bad.

[bwwcpa]

Look, I know people want him to go to Michigan, but with them being at rock bottom, he'll get double teamed every play no matter what they tell him.  At Tennessee with Monte Kiffin's Tampa 2 defense, and the top recruits that want to play for Monte for NFL prep. He'll be a Reggie White and win a Nat'l Championship.

[bwwcpa]

He does look like Reggie White at Tennessee. Imagine what William and Monte Kiffin at Tennessee could accomplish.

[scruffyluke]

what the fuck is this shit? just a load of fat cunts running after an oblong sphere by all accounts. You are all spaced out queers with shafts between your bollocks.

[footpedaldave]

the reason you need to come to the big 10 is because you are too fast.you will be absolutely dominant.and why leave your home state? commit to the Maize and Blue.you won't regret it.GO BLUE!!!

[beachday805]

Will..You are too fast for the big 10. I got to watch a kid name Reggie White play high school ball and you remind me so much of him. See you in Knoxville. Go Big Orange.

[TebooTedMarshall]

Do the right thing Brother... come to tOSU!

[Michgan2010]

6:20 is crazy

[tg1031823]

love 6:19 lol

[bas313]

GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fallusmonkey]

not big hits , but technical hits good joob man !

[Hockeydudermv]

shaun crable anybody..? ahh be a wolverine GO BLUE!

[chanceusmc]

very talented brother..good luck at the next level.check out 8th grade MLB Andrew Hudson

[jtmoney606]

GO BLUE!!!!!

[steam9891]

its brother or cousin i forget wich, but he would took real good in green and white, i watched im play dearborn forston (sp?) he is so good and has so much potential to be able to move like he does at 6'7 is crazy 2 blocked extra points on pure thleticism.

[joeleckel]

Go Blue!

[hustla513]

is he related to vernon gholston the jets linebacker out of ohio state???? anyone know

[a11wedoisdis]

yeap, his lil cousin

[stl616]

UM is the place 4 you. GO Blue!!

[hustla513]

miami is fucken shitty get them out of here

[GamstPedersen]

6:22 where he destroys the up man, hilarious. I can see why he plays linebacker instead of end, though. Rather quick and great hands. A little to hands-focused on his tackles IMO; would prefer to see more of the tackles where he drives through people body-to-body.
