Will Dorton

DP Spotlight Q & A - Will Dorton - C of C Commit: I'm Will Dorton and I attend Lugoff Elgin High School. This past season we won the state championship and it was a great experience for me. This summer I committed to the College of Charleston which I never thought would happen. My sophomore year and the beginning of my junior year I was pretty much unknown in the recruiting world and threw the average low-80's fastball from the right side, until earlier this year when I came in behind my teammate Forrest Koumas at AC Flora and was 87-90. Since then I haven't looked back and am looking forward to the future... To view his Q & A, click here.
