William Poindexter '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is William Poindexter and I am a senior at Southwood High school in Shreveport, LA. I live with my parents and older brother who attends Louisiana State University Shreveport. I have played the Center position since 7^th grade. I played with a Spar league in 3^rd grade, but 7^th grade was where I fell in love with the game. Ever since 7^th grade I have been the starting Center for Junior High and High school.

Currently, I have a 3.3 grade point average but working everyday to bring it up even higher before graduating next year. I know academics is very important.  After high school I plan on attending college but haven’t quite decided what my major will be. I am hoping to pursue college athletics and continue to be a positive example to others.

I plan to major in Exercise Science so that one day I will have the opportunity to help athletes with injuries get back in the game.  I had a painful injury my sophomore year but thankfully I am completely healed. I had a great physical therapist help me in my recover and I am 100 percent healed. This lead me to learn my passion in life to help others to get back even when everyone counts them out. 

Senior year I played Center but also learned plays and played on the Defensive line and Punt team.
