'15 IN S Mykelti Williams (Iowa Western Transfer)

[NDPhilly]

Just watched his highlight tape. Remind anyone else of jamoris slaughter?

 

[Luckylucci]

Mykelti text Loy to say "I'm signing with Notre Dame." Also, Elston is expected in today to visit.

Coaches everywhere are scrambling right now to see if they can pull that last fish in.

Didn't catch it the first time I read your post, but is Mykelti taking a swipe at pOSU by intentionally texting "the Notre Dame". If so, he's become my new favorite recruit. LOL

Haha, that would have been great if he did but that was by bad with the mistake/typo.

Glad to hear the coaches saw the things I saw when watching Mykelti's film. Plays several positions on his team, in other words, he's the best athlete and player on his Warren Central team (a very, very good program). He was voted Indy defensive player of the year over Asmar. This kid is a damn good player and pick up and there's no doubt in my mind about it.

I truly think when his career is over he will have been a pleasant surprise to everyone.

Good read. Sounds like he is chomping at the bit to get started.

This is going to be a tough situation for Williams if you believe he's more of a developmental project. Almost by default he's no worse than a backup at either safety position heading into 2016 and 2 of the players ahead of him have never been able to stay healthy over their careers. It really won't take much for him to be thrust into a starting role.

The good news is that Williams has the physical and mental maturity to take this challenge on for 2016. While I didn't necessarily see a future starter coming out of high school I've been completely wrong before and he was the Indianapolis Player of the Year over some really good prep prospects, including classmate Asmar Bilal.

There may be no more important player to watch this spring just because if Mykelti has already developed into a legit starter it could do wonders for the defense. This unit needs to replace a veteran, they need better safety play overall, and at minimum they desperately need quality depth. Hopefully, Williams can step up into a role as a redshirt freshman.

Dudes a football player. Tough dual threat QB / safety / captain of Indy's most dominant football program. He's simply one of those guys that leads. Like Malik, like Sheldon, put these guys on any team in the country and they are still leaders.

I said he'd be an All American in the 5 Fearless Predictions thread.

You're on the clock Mykelti!

I too like him quite a bit but Studstill is coming and he's takin some PT, not sure from who but from someone. Hopefully it's Redfield

Lucci don't get a crush on a player. They always leave you.

What is OFD talking about? Developmental project? He's basically penciled in to start right now and was heavily recruited to the wire against Ohio State. He was not some raw athlete being converted into a defensive back.

There are very few scenarios where he doesn't start besides Redfield returning and moving to SS with Studstill starting opposite him, or MAYBE Sebastian could beat him out.

Even if Sebastion beat him out, chances are that he gets hurt and that Mykelti starts some games.

Interesting you bring that up... We need to have this discussion in the Max thread because this isn't the first time I've heard this brought up in the past week.
