Brian Kelly was at it again Tuesday, throwing praise the way of running back Kyren Williams who continues to impress in Notre Dame’s fall camp.
“Kyren Williams has emerged as the top back right now” – Brian Kelly during Tuesday’s Zoom conference with the media.
Kelly went on to add that it by no means is going to be a backfield that sees an old school bell-cow back and was quick to sprinkle in the other backs vying for carries.
It’s another week of massive praise for Williams who last week received it not just from his head coach but also from star offensive tackle, Liam Eichenberg.
By no means does this mean Williams is going to be the guy all season long, especially with incoming freshman Chris Tyree getting a lot of praise so far in camp, too. However, it’s an incredible leap for Williams who carried the ball just four times last season, all in mop-up duty during Notre Dame’s 66-14 drubbing of New Mexico.
