MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Call him Goose.
West Virginia’s newest quarterback commit, Will “Goose” Crowder, will bring a colorful nickname with him from Alabama when he arrives on campus in 2021.
“It was in the yearbook in elementary school. It was on my report card and everything,” Crowder said of his preferred handle. “Everyone down here calls me Goose.”
As for his given name?
“Maybe 1 in 10 people will call me Will,” he said in a Monday interview on MetroNews Sportsline.
So how does a Goose from Alabama end up committing to West Virginia?
