'24 MO RB Aneyas Williams (Notre Dame Signee)

[ryno 24]

Kyren williams lost about 15 lbs after his freshman year and was much more explosive. Aneyas going to 222 is probably too big and not as explosive.

Just did a double take. I show him at 210. 222 would be insane. Even at 210 he’s gonna have to run with more power than he is, he did run through arm tackles with force on his one good run Saturday.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

222? That is nuts.

 

[2013Irish]

Yeah, Price was a unit and I'm pretty sure he checked in at 205. I don't think Aneyas' game is predicated on being that big, either.

 

[DomeFieldAdvantage]

Where are you seeing/hearing 222? The roster still has him at 210

 

[RudyVerse]

This is exactly how I feel watching Aneyas play football.

He had one good series where he looked legit. The fumble at the goal line was almost catastrophic. That was a shitty run but he celebrated as if he had made the same run that Love made against Penn State. If I was playing below average like he is I would keep my ego in check. Should be enough Carrie’s to go around this week against Purdue.

I was definitely frustrated at the celebration penalty. Aneyas needs to make better choices but he was not alone. The entire offense (including CJ) was doing the same celebration along with him.

Faison is off to the side not partaking, at least. That's what you expect from a captain.

Don't know if anyone saw his interview yesterday when asked about the ass chewing from MFMF... just a beautiful answer of accountability.
Some times it can be aggravating on Saturdays, but the way these dudes represent our team is something to be proud of.

 

[NDhoosier]

He is a good dude, I just wish he had a little better vision when running the game. It almost feels like he is trying to so hard that he isn't seeing everything like he was when he was the #3 back.

Agreed and I’m rooting for him too, but the joke writes itself here, no?

 

[jerseyborn1971]

Some players are just better when they aren't the #1 guy.

Agreed.
2026 AW is not the same player as 2024 AW. When's the last time we've seen this regression? I honestly don't recall, especially for a guy so invested.

Dudes like Williams and Greathouse are program guys that help teams win championships. They'll both have major roles to play in the second half of the season and beyond.

I like this three headed RB monster attack, but Williams is the third guy right now. Let these three guys keep battling it out and motivating each other. That RB room is so loaded right now.

At some point Williams will make a big play for us. I feel it in my plums

 

[The Backer]

Since we're in silly depth chart engineering season, I wonder if you could play Williams in some 2 back personnel, operating as a slot/full back. He's legitimately a good receiver and given how he's a heat seeking missile for defenders, I bet he could throw some mean blocks.

I'll bet a mortgage payment this never happens.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Too many weapons on this team to take one off for a second back.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I think with Williams you get him more involved in the passing game. Get two running back sets and let him get lined up against a LB. I think he can be an X factor catching the ball.

Wait what? Lined up against a TE? Can you stop to think a little more before posting?

Maybe like a 70 yard reception or something

 

[SeekNDestroy]

Maybe like a 70 yard touchdown reception or something

Crucial detail added

I think you can understand what he was trying to say. He meant “as a tight end. I’ve seen a lot worse “word salads” IE.

 

[Irish#1]

Williams will continue to get reps, particularly since he can catch the deep ball.

LB sorry

He's still a complete back, Walton is just really damn good at running the ball.
