Will Hopoate is a 19-year-old Australian rugby star with a bright future. Some sports commentators consider him the brightest star the professional rugby league has to offer. Currently playing fullback for the Manly-Warrinagh Sea Eagles, Hopoate becomes a free agent next year and has already received an offer that would make him a millionaire. Will is also LDS and has a strong desire to serve God. He recently announced he was turning down all offers to play professional rugby in order to serve two years as a missionary for his Church.
