'20 TN ATH Darion Williamson (FSU Commit)

[Woodlawn VOL]

BIG BOOM! Welcome to BIG ORANGE COUNTRY Darion Williamson!!!!

 

[chargervol]

SEC level athlete with only 1 SEC offer?

Honestly don't know much about this kid, so no spin here.
But Pruitt offering him on the spot after watching for himself at camp, always is a positive for me.

Probably the thing I trust this staff most on is knowing what talent looks like.

I love this pick up though. This is the recipe that has brought other programs back into contention. Recruit athletes and speed and coach them up.

What we like: Williamson has so much raw athleticism and potential that it’s a wonder he hasn’t already picked up more interest on the recruiting trail. Tennessee fell in love with his potential and skill set when they watched him at a practice at his high school, and their feelings were confirmed when he came and camped on UT’s campus. He has elite speed, and with his size and instincts, that’s a dangerous combo. He also can leap pretty well, and he’s very versatile. He played mostly on defense as a junior, but he showed promise as a wideout and was very impressive as one when he camped at Tennessee. He can play safety or wide receiver, and there’s even a thought he could put on more weight and keep that explosiveness and play a hybrid outside linebacker role. The options appear limitless for Williamson, and he has a very high ceiling.

He will be blowing up by October. Expect 15+ offers by the time ESD rolls around. But we have 1st mover advantage.

Boom! That's 5 home grown boys in the boat.

And that's how ya win at UT. Lock in state talent like Fulmer did and if outsiders want in, see if we have room for em.

 

[Devo182]

I bet he redshirts, unless we miss on elite WRs

lol no

He's a big framed long kid that's physical with speed and great athletic ability.

He'll probably be around 210 by the time he gets to campus. Maybe redshirts gets to 230 as a red-shirt freshman still running. 4.5.

OLB in the other style of defense we incorporate could be his future.

 

[Vol Main]

BOOM!

 

[DaddyChad]

Really think he could be a great safety.

 

[wrangler]

BOOM!!!

 

[Govols 0530]

[Scvol7906]

[esands88]

[InVOLuntary]

Fánróng!

SIAP, but they were talking about Williamson on one of the VQ Podcasts last week and said he ran his 4.5 40 out of "probably the worst 40 stance" they've ever seen.

Imagine what he would've been timed if he knew how to run them.

Love this pickup.

 

[Jack Burton]

And now the offers from our contemporaries will begin to roll in for Darion.

There will be posts worrying about him flipping to a rival later in the fall. Book it.

Or he could learn how to run the 40 and hit on a 4.3 time.

 

[vol2002]

These are the kinds of under the radar guys you want. Unique size and athleticism. I trust our staff to coach this guy up.

Doubtful. Once an instate kid commits most schools back off and don’t try

 

[swampfoxfan]

Looks like a safety to me, think it's a good pickup.

Options options. Great athlete...where to put him? Patterson at TCU has made a career with these types.
