Despite his father and his grandfather’s histories of having played football with Notre Dame, Will McHale set his sights on playing in the Ivy League as early as high school. And he did just that when he played as linebacker for Yale a few years ago. American football wasn’t his first love as far as sports goes, but it was certainly where he shone the brightest.
In his senior year, he was the lone captain of the Bulldogs and he lived up to all the expectations that came with his position as linebacker. During the spring season of 2012, he earned second-team All-Ivy League honors. He finished second in the league with 7.9 tackles and he was also second on the Bulldogs with 79 tackles. Apart from these, he also earned Yale’s Hammer of the Year Award for scoring the team’s top hits.
