NAPPANEE – Nate Andrews was thrilled to utilize the supreme athletic talent of Bronson Yoder. Trevor Andrews will get him next.

NorthWood’s exciting and energetic senior Yoder signed his National Letter of Intent this week with the College of William and Mary, a Division 1 program in Williamsburg, Va.

As the option quarterback, Yoder also threw for 427 yards and six touchdowns, and even caught 12 passes for 139 yards and two scores.

Yoder had 29 solo and 62 total tackles on defense, picking off seven passes and returning two of them for a score.
