"Sutton is bigger than you would think. On paper his size is a worrisome issue, but on film he looks to be a thickly built kid who can hang in the trenches. If he truly is 250 pounds he will still need to add some good bulk, but he is a big 250! Has a solid get-off, but needs to be more consistent in his initial explosiveness. Does a good job of protecting his legs. Will flash the ability to come off the ball, shoot his hands, derive power from the hips, and stand a blocker up and hold his ground. Displays good natural strength, but needs to be more consistent in bringing his hands and staying low. An area where his size may be an obstacle is with his reach and his ability to separate and shed from bigger blockers. Does a good job of being able to slant across a blockers face and rip and get penetration. Looks comfortable when asked to do a line twist and will stay square and come off the penetrators butt. Will telegraph though when he is getting ready to run a twist. He is an active kid who will work to get free and get to the ball. Reads blocks fairly well and can get flat and down the line of scrimmage. Has solid speed and takes good pursuit angles, but needs to work on that some. Shows very adequate short-area change-of-direction skills. He is a solid tackler. As a pass rusher he will work to get to half-a-man and works to try and dip and rip. Can bull rush. Needs to work on counters as he can get stuck if he can not get to the blockers shoulder. Sutton is an interesting kid. Size will be a bit of an obstacle, but he does some things that intrigue you. At worst should be able to develop into a good wave player." - ESPN
"Corona (Calif.) Centennial defensive tackle William Sutton has added the Huskers to his offer list. The 6-foot, 250-pounder is up to five offers.
“It is the same as all of the other schools that have offered me. They are all pretty high right now,” Sutton said,
“I know that they are in the Big 12 and they play a lot of good schools. Their fans are highly into the game and they sell out every game. …I think it is one of the bigger offers I have got.
Sutton doesn’t have plans to take unofficial trips this summer and Centennial doesn’t have a bye week, so a trip to Nebraska might have to be made after his senior season. He does have in mind some of the priorities he is considering for each school.
“First, I’m looking at education — what percentage of athletes that graduate at the school,” he said. “And then I’ll look at the coaching staff, the facilities, the players and everything else.”
Sutton feels that his junior year went “real good.” He ended up with 70 tackles, 3 1/2 sacks and one fumble recovery.
“I always make plays in the backfield,” he said. “I was second in tackles for loss and I had about 14. … I got quicker compared to last year. I went from a 5.2 40-yard dash to a 4.9 as my best, and then I went from a 4.6 shuttle time to a 4.2 shuttle. Then, I jumped a 32-inch vertical.”" - Kearney Hub
