John William Ferrell was created on the 16th of July, 1967 in Irvine (California). The oldest son of Righteous Brothers keyboardist Lee Ferrell and teacher Kay Ferrell, Will was--by his own admission, not the class clown when he was a student at University High School. Ferrell was an unassuming student who decided to be an elite footballer. He set a school record in terms of field goals made. Ferrell was a quiet man in suburban suburbia, and he didn't exhibit the same bizarre or funny manner of behavior that would define his career.
