William Tammaru '20 Recruiting Profile

I am in the 2020 class at West Aurora High School.  I am 6'3" and weigh 200 pounds. During the 2018-19 season, our team made it to the top 16 in the state - only the second time in school history.  I was named to the All - Conference 1st team, All Academic Conference as well as All State Academic for 8A in Illinois. I was also named to the Daily Herald all area team.  I continue to be in the top 5% of my class with a 4.45/5.0 GPA. 

As a sophomore, I was the starting varsity quarterback of an 8A high school in Illinois.  During the 2017-18 season, I was named to the All-Conference 1st team, earned Academic All Conference and we took 2nd place in our conference. I had the most passing yards and touchdowns of any quarterback at all four levels.  Additionally, I am on the number 1 ranked national 7v7 team.  I pride myself in my work ethic and ability to balance both my academic and athletic responsibilities.  I attend a very large, competitive high school and am in the top 5% of my class, with a 4.5/4.0 GPA.  I am confident I would compliment a college team and look forward to playing football beyond high school.   

For the 2016-17 season, I was the starting quarterback on the sophomore team. During the 2016-17 season, it was an honor to be selected as player of the week on numerous occasions and lead our team to the conference title.  Additionally, I was selected by the varsity head coach to participate in an athlete leadership group where athletes from all sports work together to further develop leadership skills.  Throughout my athletic career, coaches have always praised my ability to be coached, drive and leadership.  

My goal is to play football in college and earn a degree in math, business or engineering.
