HOW WILL WILLIAMSON FITS IN WITH THE VOLS?
Williamson could play either side of the ball. At camp, Tennessee worked him in the defensive backfield, as well as at receiver on offense. Outside linebacker isn't out of the question, either. Williamson is a raw athlete who ran a 4.5 and displayed plenty of explosion even with an unpolished running style in the 40 and other testing drills.
Where he ultimately ends up position wise is unclear at this point, but as Pruitt and his staff continue to rebuild the roster passing up on 6-3, 190 pound athletes who can run is not an option. Memphis was the first school to offer, but the Vols came on strong after Williamson’s camp performance and held off a charging Texas A&M team for Williamson’s commitment.
WHAT DOES WILLIAMSON ADDITION MEAN FOR TENNESSEE?
The answer to that question centers around what position Williamson plays. The 2020 signing class is expected to be heavy at receiver, as the Vols could take as many as four at the position. Tennessee has a commitment in Jimmy Callaway. Five-star Rakim Jarrett is a huge priority. The Vols remain in conversation with Thaiu Jones-Bell, who committed to Alabama in late May. Tennessee also remains a player with Dee Beckwith from Florence, Alabama, and 5-star athlete Arik Gilbert.
In the defensive backfield, the Vols have a commitment from safety Antonio Johnson. as well as corners Keshawn Lawrence and Art Green. Lovie Jenkins is an athlete who could play multiple positions but is likely a defensive back. The Vols remain a player for Mordecai McDaniel at safety as well.
