Will E. Redmond (born December 28, 1993) is an American former professional football safety. He played college football at Mississippi State and was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft. Redmond has also been a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, and Houston Texans.

Early life

Redmond first attended Manassas High School in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was the starting quarterback for the Tigers team documented in the Oscar-winning documentary film Undefeated. Redmond later transferred to East High School in Memphis, Tennessee, where played both sides of the ball and on special teams.[1]

Redmond was rated as a four-star recruit by 247sports.com[2] and Rivals.com,[3] and a three-star recruit by ESPN.[4] His scholarship offers included Cincinnati, Clemson, Georgia, Illinois, Louisville, Memphis, Miami, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Purdue, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Virginia. Redmond committed to Mississippi State on August 1, 2011,[2] and signed with the Bulldogs the following February, despite a late push from Georgia.[5]

College career

Redmond's recruitment led to Mississippi State being placed on probation after it was revealed that a booster provided Redmond with cash, a credit card, and a $2,000 discount on a car.[6] The university formally disassociated the booster. The NCAA declared Redmond ineligible for the 2012 season and the first five games of the 2013 season. He was also required to repay $2,660 in impermissible benefits.[7]

Redmond made his college debut against Bowling Green in October 2013.[1] Redmond recorded 23 tackles that season as a reserve defensive back.

Redmond played in every game for the Bulldogs in 2014. He caught the game-clinching interception in the end zone on the final play to preserve the Bulldogs' 34–29 upset win over LSU.[8] Redmond repeated the feat a few weeks later with an end zone interception in the final minute of a 17–10 victory over Arkansas.[9] He finished the season with 51 tackles and three interceptions.

On October 22, 2015, after playing in seven games, Redmond tore his ACL in practice.[10] Redmond finished the season with 25 tackles and two interceptions.

Prior to the draft, Redmond was projected as one of the top cornerbacks in the 2016 NFL draft by Mel Kiper Jr.[12] and as a first-round pick by Todd McShay,[13] who remarked that Redmond showed "excellent quickness and agility, which is why he gives up little separation in man-to-man coverage".
