William Hesmer (born November 23, 1981 in Wilson, North Carolina) is an American soccer player who last played for the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer.
Hesmer played college soccer at Wake Forest University from 2000 to 2003, establishing himself as one of the nation's best goalkeepers at that level. As a junior, Hesmer was named an NSCAA second team All-American, and as a senior was named a first team All-American.
After graduating from college, Hesmer was drafted 17th overall in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft by the Kansas City Wizards. However, with Tony Meola starting in goal, and the very experienced Bo Oshoniyi as his backup, Hesmer was not able to establish himself, and finished the season without playing a single minute.
In the 2006 season, Hesmer earned a handful of appearances, but did not make a huge first team impact. He was selected in the 2006 MLS Expansion Draft by Toronto FC, but was only with the club for a matter of hours before being dealt to the Columbus Crew for a partial allocation.
