Will Black, who is a native of London, Ontario, is the complete package, according to Choate Rosemary Hall coach L.J. Spinnato. "He's very coachable," Spinnato told Irish Illustrated. "He’s a lot of fun to work with, a great kid, a humble kid. He’s always working on his craft. So, we’re fortunate to get him here at Choate. I mean, he’s a perfect Choate kid. We’re the No. 3 boarding school in the world. And he works hard, he does well in the classroom, and he’s a great kid in our community." Even with that drive, Spinnato says he's seen Black grow as a player. "That kid has worked at it," his coach said. "It’s not like he was super-duper raw in terms of general technique. This is a kid who worked with his local…university’s football players for the last year and a half. So, he would go and work out with them on their field all the time during their off-season, getting better. He learned a lot from some really good Canadian football players who were already in university. The biggest thing, I would say, inline competition, opening up and having that confidence, it took a little bit of time, but it didn’t take that long. I’ll be honest. He picks it up really quickly. He loves the game and has fun with it."

Will Black's frame, fluid movement skills and controlled coordination working at left tackle reminds us of Joe Alt. Black is further along as a true offensive lineman than Alt at the same stage. Despite being newer to football, Black has primarily played as an offensive tackle while Alt played as a tight end and defensive end later in his high school career.
