Wowza. I would be more than satisfied if we end up with him and Grant. What a great class this is shaping up to be.
those are insane numbers for a high school kid.

If those numbers are correct, Those are J-Stew type #'s numbers

It seems like the only thing that J-Stew beat Williams on in measurables is weight. Only imagine what Williams could be after working with Radcliffe for a couple of years.

J-Stew was around the 220 range in HS.

I have to be a little skeptical of those numbers, because a 205 pound kid usually can't approach those kind of numbers. If those are legit tho... WOW.

If this kid is so physically gifted, why isn't he the #1 RB in the nation, like J.Stew was? Sounds too good to be true...

He'll rise as the season goes on most likely. Might be because he was injured a good part of last year. Although he's not too underrated. ESPN, Scout, and Rivals all have him as a 4*.

He was definitely injured for a big part of last year.

All those numbers I posted above are directly from their respective Rivals profiles coming out of high school.

Wasn't Williams limited by an ankle injury last season?

http://www.duckterritory.com/football/f ... s-a-leader

"Due to an ankle injury Dontae's junior season was cut short. But in that short time he had 595 rushing yards, with a 6.4 YPC, and 6 touchdowns."

I knew a 140 pounder who could squat in that range, but his bench was around 190-200.

A cousin benched close to 400 max, when he was right around 200 lbs himself...

A lot depends on genetics and training regiment.

What makes me skeptical is the strength + speed. I'd easily believe a 205 pounder running a 4.5. I'd easily believe a 205 pounder squatting and benching as much as Williams does. But being able to do both? That's pretty stunning.

I'm sorry but there's no way his numbers are better than JStew's and now way he runs an actual 4.49...He's definitely big and fast and I'm for sure not complaining but JStew's measurable's were off the charts

From his tape, I don't think he has the same balance that Stewart had. Radcliffe can help work on that. Great pick-up assuming he does commit.
