Gladney, who finished his career on South Hill with 258 receptions, 3,574 yards and 38 touchdowns in 40 games. He ranks first all-time in catches, yards and touchdowns on the career list, while his 1,161 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2019 are first on the single season list.
"We are very excited about Will's opportunities but not surprised," said head coach Dan Swanstrom. "We have been getting consistent contact from the NFL. Will's best football is in front of him because of his work ethic. Someone will see that and be the beneficiary."
Gladney's senior year campaign, as well as his superlatives, are remarkably similar to currently small college NFL players and their final seasons in college football.
