Will was one of the nation’s top high school quarterbacks when he was at the University of Florida. His father, Chad Grier, rarely saw his son do anything other than succeed.
He was a college football star in the making until it all fell apart for him. Then, as per his dad, he saw his son at his "lowest point of life" in a matter of days.
In October 2015, Will failed the drug test. Although Will appealed the NCAA’s decision to punish him for a year, the NCAA sustained the punishment.
Will claims that he used a supplement to gain weight on the recommendation of a nutrition shop clerk. As a result, he went from 188 pounds when he first came on the University of Florida's campus to 210 pounds.
However, he asserted he was unaware that the new supplement, Lingadrol, was on the NCAA's banned substance list.
As per Chad, Will’s wife was there for him in his darkest days, and they had a strong relationship.
“It’s a friendship as much as anything. You want your kids to marry their best friend,” Will’s father told a media outlet.
