williams, whos also drawing early interest from alabama, arkansas, clemson, memphis, wake forest and uab, among others, said hes already planning to visit tennessee for the first time as early as next month.
i had no idea (the offer was coming). I was in shock, said williams, whos expected to be one of the top prospects from the state of tennessee in the 2018 class. that was my first school. To be sec, especially tennessee, i wasnt expecting it at all.
he said he watched my film. He said thats what caught his attention, williams said. he really liked my film. Coming down, making tackles and covering with my height, he said i could be another richard sherman something like that. Im supposed to go up there in january for a visit. The night he offered me, he was like, were going to try to get you up on a visit in january sometime, whenever youre free.
they are my first offer, he said. people have been telling me i need to go and commit and all this, and im like, no, i want to wait til my recruitment opens. it just depends on how my recruitment process goes and all the schools that come to me and offer me. But, definitely, tennessee is a big look as of right now because they were my first. Ive been following butch jones and a lot of them. I really like them. They get a lot of top recruits, like the number-one player in the country,
i have an auntie. Her name is michelle, williams said. as soon as i got (the offer), she called me and was like, youve got to go up there. You might as well commit, do this, do that. she said shes got friends up there. She used to live in knoxville, and she moved to memphis with family. She told me about the college and how the games are packed out. She was just telling me everything about it. She said i would really like it.
i definitely want to wait until either before my senior season like, summertime-isn or probably middle of my senior season, he said.
