William "Trey" Bond III '21 Recruiting Profile

My given name is William Nelson Bond III but is frequently known simply as "Trey".  

My interests point towards the area of construction management and displays strong leadership/management skills.  I am likeable and I work well with others, yet I can take a stand when needed to show authority on my various teams or club activities such as FFA.    I am interested in taking over the family owned and operated railroad construction company and farm operations, but I have my sites on learning and gaining experience outside the business.  I plan to work for others 5 to 10 years until I am well rounded enough to decide if the family business is right for me.  

I am known for my outstanding work ethic and my dedication to my team.   I am the player who never misses a 6:30am weight lifting session, year round and motivates others to achieve the same.   I have gone from a slender, 14 year old at around 125 pounds  to a solid 200 pound athlete as a junior.   During my wrestling career I have been told I am one of the stronger guys that his opponents wrestle.  My coaches often point me out as a 'farm strong' kid.  

I am an honest kid with respect for adults and children alike.   I am the kid who opens the door and tells people 'thank you sir'.   

I have confidence in myself and my abilities, yet I realize that it is a continuous improvement process and I frequently seek out the best coaches and former athletes to assist me with weight programs or to learn new skills. 

I had 25 pins out of 35 wins in my junior year wrestling.  I have strong leadership qualities and I am upbeat and supportive of my team, yet I have times where I am my greatest critic. 

I am a coach-able kid. I am respected by my teachers, coaches and other student athletes. I have my faults, but I am good at self assessment and can be coached or mentored to over come my weaknesses.  I am the 6th generation farm kid, raised with respect for others, a great sense of humor and relate well to people. I am a pleasant, well rounded young man.
