"I got offers from Tennessee on Tuesday and LSU on Wednesday," he said. "I didn't think Tennessee had offered, but he told my coach they sent it a couple months ago. We never got the fax.

"The LSU coach came by and they watched my film and then called the coaches back at LSU and told them to send over the offer."

"Maryland is coming today and my coach told me he wouldn't be surprised if one of the Florida schools came next week sometime."

"I haven't cut anything down yet, but hopefully soon, probably in about a month or so is when I'll narrow my list down," he said. "I would say that West Virginia, North Carolina, Penn State, Virginia Tech, LSU, Tennessee and N.C. State are coming at me the hardest."

The 6-foot-2 ½, 195-pound linebacker narrowed his list down to six on Friday - Tennessee, LSU, West Virginia, Penn State, Miami of Florida and North Carolina.

Tennessee: "With Tennessee I like the fact the coaches, they keep a letter in the mailbox. They've sent me like 10-12 hand-written letters. That plays a little bit into the recruiting process for me.

“I’m ready to drop my top five and I will be calling all of the following schools to let them know,” said Williams. “My top schools are Miami, LSU, Penn State, Tennessee, and UNC in no particular order. I saw Virginia Tech and I’m a city boy so that kind of ruled them out.”

Tennessee: “I really like all of the media attention that they are getting and I like that the new staff has all of that intensity.”

No to put way too much stock in one comment but if he is from Norfolk and considers himself a "city boy" then I would think Knoxville is about what he is used to in a city. Miami is obviously a much bigger city but Happy Valley and Chapel Hill aren't all that much different from Blacksburg. Don't really know about Red Stick, personally.

'Noch,

In re: Chapel Hill.....Raleigh, Durham, and to a lesser extent Greensboro are all right there, though. Not sticking up for UNC, just mentioning that.


6'2", 189.......I was gonna say that this guy's tiny for an OLB. But then again, Mr. Derrick Brooks wasn't the biggest LB, either.....and look what he did in Monte's system. Just saying.

he's not big, but if the 4.5 is legit along with the strength numbers, it doesn't really matter. We're talking about a rising HS senior. He has plenty of time to get to 210-220.

I'm in Hampton Roads, I know how big it is but I don't think most kids from downtown Norfolk factor in the size of Hampton, Newport New, Suffolk, etc. when claiming to be a "city boy". Maybe the beach and Chesapeake but that might even be a stretch.

Williams tentatively has planned official visits to LSU, Penn State, Miami and West Virginia.

We are battling with UNC for his 5th visit.

Friends with current LSU commit Justin Hunter.

He just picked up a Miami offer. Bad news unless we (hopefully) impress TWill this weekend. His commitment would be HUGE!

"My top schools and the ones I'm basically down to are Miami, North Carolina and West Virginia," he said. "I've always liked Miami. They've been doing pretty well so far this season.
