'15 GA DB Chris Williamson (Offer)

[arrowryan]

Is this a backup plan for Prentice or a take no matter what?

I'd think he is a take no matter what

He has the ability to play either safety spot and has the range to play FS. Cornerback may be his best position with the way he breaks on the ball.



Very mature kid that cares about academics and could make the transition to ND easily. He has his head on straight and understands the value on and off the field that Notre Dame can provide him.



Will be a tough pull from the South, but definitely doable with everyone else joining his recruitment at this point.

I agree. But damn the kid can play WR also for me any day.

Why is he ranked so low? Is it due to missing his junior year?

More than likely.

Missed his JR. year and the summer camp circuit. Great hands and ability to high point the ball could make him a playmaker in the secondary. In today's football nickel and dime defenses are used a lot so to have a safety who is capable of dropping down and playing coverage is a nice asset.

Gotta like guys with length from the south

Too easy.

Reportedly ND likes him at Safety even though he's never played the position. He said he's willing to try.

No bad habits I guess. He definitely has the athleticism to be a safety, and experience at corner can't hurt.

Different mentality, though. Does he like to wreck people?

I would settle for someone who just was in the right spot, chose correct angles, had closing speed, and was a sure/crisp tackler. Wrecking people would be icing on the top.

Good point!!! Beggars can't be choosers!

You mean, basic fundamentals!? What a concept!? lol

I know every high school kid has some work in the weight room to do hopping up to the college level but he's a little on the thin side for a safety - probably a kid that would need to be stashed away for a year or two before he saw action on the field. I do like his upside though. Seems like a kid that does an excellent job competing when the ball is in the air which for a safety is a very good trait to have.

Kids are allowed to develop.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Kids are allowed to develop.

They are allowed to, but some kids are just skinny.

 

[drake29]

Kids are allowed to develop.

Of course they are. All kids bodies allow them to develop to some extent. What I question is whether or not he'll be able to maintain his athleticism after adding 30 lbs of muscle which is something that most kids have trouble with. You don't have to be a smartass you know. You could just have a normal discussion without trying to insult someone.

I saw a quote from him where he says he "likes to bring the wood."

I might be crazy, but I'm really excited about this kid and hoping ND can land him.

Out of curiosity why does he need to gain 30 pounds? If he is really 190 as his profile suggests then 15 pounds would be fine for a FS.

I apologize, I swear I read a profile yesterday that said he was 6-0, 170 lbs. If he is closer to 190 then he should be fine throwing on 10 lbs and maintaining his athleticism.

Not a problem. I just did a quick check of recruiting sites and Rivals and Scout list him at 185 and 247 lists him at 190.

Just by watching the tape you can tell this kid isn't "too" skinny to develop.

I know what I did now - I had just watched the Jalen Julius film and confused the two players. Eff me.

Set OV to UF for Jan. 30th. OV to UNC this weekend. Believe he has 1 OV left.

Pro Bowl DB On 3-Star DB Chris Williamson: "He Can Do It All."

“Technically speaking, he has all the tools you look for and he's really athletic and a good two-way player on both sides of the ball,” said Buchanan. “He just has that ‘it’ factor. With Chris, he's strong. I mean, very strong. He has great upper body strength and a ton of strength in his legs. He looks like he’s ready for the next level. He’s very gifted athletically and he’s smooth in his ability to cover. He’s standing around six feet and he has really long arms. That mixed with his strength gives him a major advantage over the wide receivers he's going against. He can do it all. He has an ideal body for a college defensive back.


Williamson will end up at one of his finalists: Notre Dame, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, Cal and North Carolina
“The way he moves, he reminds me of a poor-man's Champ Bailey. He has that type of structure and that type of movement. Champ was an animal on offense and Chris is similar, but both are even better defensively. I know that's giving him a lot of credit, but Chris has a lot of that swag about him that Champ possessed.”

 

[Luckylucci]

Per Loy, it's UNC 1/16, UK 1/23 and Florida 1/30. ND and UGA are trying to get midweek visits. However, he did say that the UK visit may be switched with either ND or UGA. As of now the general consensus is UGA.

 

[Irish#1]

A lot of work to do to land him.
