before going in, everybody told me i was going to fall in love with it and that it was, like, a pretty view and everything and it was just really beautiful. And i really saw that when i came up here, said williams, whos ranked the no. 90 overall prospect and no. 9 cornerback in the industry-generated 247sports composite for the 2019 class. i really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed their coaches. Their facilities are really, really nice. It was just nice seeing coach pruitt again.
i really already knew coach pruitt as a coach, i guess, williams said, "so i wanted to come to tennessee and see what it was like and just check it out. williams said he was most impressed by definitely the facilities, the academic part and just the coaches at tennessee, and he enjoyed seeing the vols in action during saturdays scrimmage.i just enjoyed it overall, he said of the scrimmage at neyland stadium. i mean, honestly, on the field, their corners looked like they were pretty solid and just doing their job.
they just talked about and mentioned how they love big corners and how that would fit in good with tennessee, williams said. ive been talking to coach sherrer a lot, and now coach kelly, he said he was going to be recruiting my area. pruitt talked with williams about his plans for turning around the vols program. we just talked about, like, the basic stuff, how hes going to turn tennessee back into what it was back then and be more successful with them, williams said. he said that he really, really wants me there, and we could really build there and just stuff like that.
he admitted he was an alabama fan growing up, and while the crimson tide are among the teams hes considering, he said he looks at things differently as a recruit. he said he hasnt settled on any early favorite or even a group of front-runners. i dont really have any favorites right now, williams said. im just kind of chilling, i guess, just seeing what everybody has to offer.
as he continues exploring his options, he said he wants to make sure i fit in with the defense and with what my position does, and hes interested in just fitting in with the coaches and everything, getting along with them. for now, hes not sure when he might be ready to decide on a college. i really dont know yet, williams said. i might wait the long run, or i might just come out of nowhere with it. I really dont know yet.
