Williams does a little bit of both, playing quarterback and defensive back for Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He’s a five-star dual-threat bit could change positions at the college level.
When talking to Corey Bender of Rivals, Williams mentioned Florida envisions using him like they did with Kadarius Toney, having him become a weapon for their offense. That’s certainly something Florida fans should love to hear because Toney was an explosive player for the Gators’ offense and should be a first-round pick come April’s NFL draft.
“Most schools really like me on the defensive side, but when talking to Florida, they really do have a plan for me at receiver. They’re really explosive. The position they want me to play Kadarius Toney had a great season at. He’s put himself to be a really high draft pick and they think I can do the same.”
Williams has 18 offers and is getting legit interest from Oklahoma, Florida, USC, Arkansas and LSU. He’s ranked No. 19 overall, the No. 2 athlete nationally and No. 1 in the state of Oklahoma per 247Sports.
