Projection: Wide receiver. Williams is a good high school athlete but lacking refinement in some areas. Basically, he looks like a good-sized, fairly fast player in a somewhat simple offense that runs him on a lot of fly routes, a few fades, and a few slants. He appears to be a physically mature player, which makes me wonder a little about how much room for development there is; the technical things can certainly improve, but he might be closer to his peak as an athlete than some other players. I think he can be a serviceable player at the BCS level with potential to be more if he can play with more physicality.
Reminds me of: LaTerryal Savoy
Likelihood of committing to Michigan: Williams visited Michigan a couple weekends ago and, according to reports, was close to committing.
Highlights: Check out Williams' highlights on Hudl.

ReplyDeleteSo ... we can expect him to do something inappropriate off the field as an underclassman, persevere on the field, and get his 15 seconds of fame in the 4th quarter against Notre Dame as a 5th-year senior?
I kid ... I kid. Good write-up, as usual.
Given the choice, I'm really wanting Marshon Lattimore. But then I consider Glenville High School and think to myself, Willy Henry or not, that ain't happenin'. We're gonna be hating that kid for years.
ReplyDeleteI'd really rather be getting a run after the catch kid around here. Maybe Artavis Scott.
On Hudl they have sophomore and junior highlights and he looks considerably better his junior year so maybe he has more upside.
ReplyDeleteWhy is being a long strider a weaknesses? What do you mean by he doesn't set up his routes well?
