Says Oregon is in his top 3, and sounded high on the ducks. Distance isn't a problem at all, which is a good sign.

He also doesn't have any offers from the big Florida schools, so I think we have a good shot at Williams.

Here's his profile: http://oregon.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=8&c=1&nid=4667140

Sure looks like it. The jawline and hair are similar. Hard to tell completely since he has sunglasses on.

Yep^ He visited for the spring game, which is always big. It seems like usually when a player gets out for an early visit to Eugene, we are always a serious player. That's pretty natural, but it just seems moreso with the ducks.

Pretty good offer list for an unrated player. And its always cool to be getting players out of Florida.

A bit of a tweener, do we know what position were recruiting him for?

He can always put on some weight and gain some speed under Coach Radcliffe if needed. Plus, Coach Azz is not a bad DL coach to learn from.

^ I agree, I wonder if they think he can add more weight and eventually play DT?

Scout lists him at 230 lbs, slightly more than either Nick Rood or Kenny Rowe when they were being recruited. I don't see weight being a problem if he has quickness.

It's possible, but he's being recruited as a DE right now. Also, there's still some talented natural DT's out there that the ducks are pursing. So only if they struggle with DT recruiting again might they start shifting some DE's to DT.

Either way, I wouldn't stress about it. Any talent like Williams' will be put somewhere on D to help us win.

Not every guy we get needs to be converted to DT. Every time we are looking at a guy with some size everyones first question is whether he can gain some weight & be converted to DT :lol: . We need DEs just as much as we need DTs. We will be getting our DTs, no need to be so desperate.

I know absolutely nothing about the kid...... Rivals has him listed as a DT though? http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/r ... ams-110264

Since he doesn't have offers from the Florida schools I'm guessing he might not be a natural fit at DE? maybe not athletic enough for them? But he played LB in that video?

And looking at that photo he appears to have a thick frame...... and if he's already 240.... It just makes me wonder what were recruiting him for...

I'm not a scout subscriber so I don't know if he tells what position he's being recruited as.
