Will's Bio

I'm an editing intern at Bleacher Report, here to serve all your editing needs, concerns, and deepest desires. I enjoy editing, so if you've got anything you want someone to take a look over, you can send it my way.

I'm a huge fan of college football, especially the Crimson Tide and the SEC. I'm predicting a BCS Championship appearance for the Tide in 2011. When it happens, you'll remember that you heard that from me first and you'll think, "That dude on Bleacher Report was so right. He must be the smartest man alive." And then you'll tell one of you friends about it and they'll say, "Oh man, Will Hoekenga? I don't know about the smartest man alive, but he edited one of my stories the other day and it was one of the top 50 amazing experiences of my life. Probably at least No. 47." It'll go something like that, trust me.

I'm getting more into the NFL as I get older (I grew up in Alabama; no one cares about the NFL there). I don't really follow a particular team, but I live in Nashville now, so I like to see the Titans win.
