Newsstand: Will Compton speaks to top recruits at On3 Elite Series
Tweets Of The Day
Former Nebraska and NFL linebacker Will Compton, who co-hosts the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast with former Michigan and NFL offensive lineman Taylor Lewan, was a speaker at the On3 Elite Series event in Nashville Wednesday. Compton delivered a message to top 2025 football recruits, including Winston Salem (N.C.) Mount Tabor four-star safety JaDon Blair. He laid out his advice of having a vision, a process and an audit.
“Vision – we all want to be an NFL football player,” Compton said. “When I was working to ultimately make the practice squad, at that point in time, I had written down I wanted to be a starting linebacker for the Washington Redskins. That obviously didn’t happen, I was on the practice squad. But I needed to believe. I needed to go and chase even though I doubted those goals. So that was my vision.
“What is that linebacker doing every day? I kind of alluded to that. What does he listen to, what does he read? What questions is he asking the people that have been there and done that? ‘Hey, what makes you so successful?’ But it’s stuff like that. Write out what this process looks like.
“And then audit. The last thing is audit, because like I said earlier, Day 1 Will Compton is not going to feel the same as Day 30 Will Compton. When you’re waking up to the same monotony of the schedule every day, that combine can’t come fast enough. That testing day can’t come fast enough. You have to do these bullshit tasks every day. Habits are more dependable than inspiration and motivation.”
West Roxbury (Mass.) Dexter School 2025 four-star interior offensive lineman Hardy Watts will take his official visit to Michigan from June 21-23.

“He’s really the one that made that scheme. He knows every in and out. I see myself fitting in really well and playing freely. When we sat down, we watched my film and Junior Colson’s film. They showed me how I would fit in. They want me to make an immediate impact.”
