Not exactly the prototypical DT body type, but he does get shit done. Good eval in the portal.

it was funny when he made the stop on 3rd down against aggy, herbstreit didn't know his name and just called him #15.  that guy has been instrumental in 2 huge goal line stands and I bet 90% of our fans have no idea who he is or where he's from.

At the Kentucky game they were naming our starting lineups and I was like "who the fuck is Bill Norton?"

I know who he is now. 

Total pimp.

Dude is silently a killer. Wish he could come back, along with Lole. Those guys are just great finds. That stop at the goal line was nothing short of awesome

It's evidence of great coaching/evaluation when you can get great production from less heralded, cheaper players by fitting them to the right roles in your system.

I commented somewhere else but that 4th down stop was about as loud as I've ever heard DKR and it was certainly the loudest that we got all night against Clemson. 

Check it out from here

The guard trying to block him on the goal line looks about half his size.

...or where he is going.

Hell yes. He’s played pretty well this season. I’ve noticed him getting pressure at different times and was unsure of who he was.

[Dark Horse 2436]

He also makes beats!

According to the Insta linked on his youtube page, it appears to be.

He came pre-installed with the defense.

Looks like refrigerator Perry out there.

[Nope 3153]

He’s as good as any interior DL in the country when he’s fresh and rested

The neat part is having the depth to play him ONLY when he’s fresh

y'all are serious about not knowing who bill Norton was? surly is slipping 

[Carl Spackler 3621]

He has definitely come on big toward the end of the season, which is great to see.  At the start of the season, he was merely okay -- he didn't flash much at all and Lole was definitely ahead of him in the rotation.  But Norton has gotten better and better as the season progressed to the point now that he's a force in the middle of the line, particularly against the run.  Credit to him, Kenny Baker, and the rest of the defensive staff for his development throughout the season.  

[dcar00 14995]

I'd like to vote him for Gaskamp award but since he's a portal guy I guess we can't

[Dennis Taylor 19375]

Anyone who picked Texas to cover should really love him 

[Damor 1251]

After stuffing the 4th-and-goal attempt, he goes up to the QB and says, "I'm Bill Norton! SAY IT!!!"  Then he manipulates the QB's lips in such a way as to make him say, "Biiiilllnorrrrton".... it wasn't exactly like it, but it was pretty good for a guy named Klubnik!

Didn’t realize he was a highly ranked recruit who originally signed with Georgia.
