The 6-6, 300 pounder had developed into one of the best offensive lineman in college football while playing at William & Mary, a FCS program located in Williamsburg, Virginia. Once a zero-star recruit out of Mt. Lebanon High School in Pittsburgh, he was now a bonafide NFL prospect.
Rather than transfer he recommitted to a grad year at William & Mary, known far more for its elite academics than its athletic prowess. As for the NFL, well, he was good enough for Detroit to pick him in the fifth round as the 152nd overall selection.It turned out turning down the big time to help make his own team as big time as it could be was enough.“I think it helped,” Sorsdal said. “Every NFL team asked me why I stayed.
