'19 MO RB Kyren Williams (Notre Dame Signee)

[Luckylucci]

Do they publish another final ranking when everyone's season is over? Because I think Kyren can climb into the top 200.

He has that compact blend of great balance and speed. Can't wait to see him in a gold helmet.

Final rankings aren't until after the AA games. So still time to impress.

I think it's safe to say that Kyren can contribute in 2019.

 

[Luckylucci]

I think the RB room in the Spring/Fall is going to be a very competitive situation. There will be a lot of reps to go around. And while I expect continued improvement from the guys already on campus, I also think Kyren can push for PT.

And you'll be the first recognize when JKisier (aka Ryan Nall from Oregon St) turns into the:

Great White Lope

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I believe his season is over.

Final Stats

Rushing: 110 carries, 1385 yards, 18 TDs, 12.6 avg

Receiving: 47 receptions, 653 yards, 10 TDs, 13.9 avg

Defense

Total tackles - 69, 1 sack, 2 fum rec, 7 INTs

247 has him listed as the #12 RB and#237 overall

Add 25 carries, 227 yds and 5 TDs to the rushing numbers above and 11 tackles. I'm guessing their season continues this weekend.

 

[Irish YJ]

i just hope some one in the RB group emerges to be a threat like Dex is this year. i think Jafar will continue to improve as he learns the position, but we need a true Dex like beast to compliment the other styles.

Add another 18 carries, 134, 2 TDs rushing. 1 pass for 68 yds, 1 TD

Kyren and his Vianney team are headed to state


So to do the math:

Rushing
153 attempst, 1746 yards, 11.4 avg, 25 TDs

Receiving
50 receptions, 660 yards, 10 TDs

Defense
69 tackles, 1 sack, 6 T4Ls, 1 sack, 2 FR, 7 Ints.

One game left

 

[BobbyMac]

Has he gotten his punting avg up over 40 yet? I'm a hold until then.

Also some new reports coming out about his size... stay tuned.

Wow! He almost averages as many yards rushing as he does receiving. Is he an EE? We’re going to need his playmaking ability next year.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

EE? Tweeted "All Set, see you January 12th South Bend"

 

[arrowryan]

I saw that. I'm thinking he's an EE.

That's been the plan for a while. Good to see it's official.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

May have a shot to get tons of time next year depending if he puts on a few pounds or not

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Kyren just picked up his 2nd state title in 3 years.

State Title rushing stats (saw a tweet):
26 carries, 289 yards, 1 TD

I read he had at least 60 yards receiving but I can find those numbers yet.

 

[STLDomer]

HS plays a class down come playoff time versus their conference/rest of the schedule. Don’t know why but in case anyone was wondering why the exceedingly dominate playoff performances.

Hmmmm...Autry Denson is 5'10'' and Kyren is pretty much the same height. Definitely not 5'7'', not huge, but not tiny.

Perfect height for a RB, can get lost behind our big uglies and pop out somewhere down field.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Kyren is a great height for a complementary back once Steele Chambers flips

Even with all of defensive talent in this class, I think Kyren is who I'm most excited about. With our new found ability to throw the ball to the running back, Kyren could become extremely valuable to this offense.

Yep and I hope at least one of our other players can join Kyren in the backfield. I'm wondering if Kiser doesn't flip to the offense? Not that he can't be a phenomenal linebacker but what do we do with all of them?

You think he has a chance to play next year? I do myself

As we've been saying... Tarean Folston 2.0

Showing up a bit bigger than Folston did. Folston left at 215 though.

Is his top end speed faster than Folston though?

 

[BobbyMac]

Is his top end speed faster than Folston though?

Hopefully. My guess would be yes.

 

[OhioIrish31]

Hopefully. My guess would be yes.

Hope so too. Folston was a threat to (get caught) everytime he was going the distance.

Great story about Kyren's accomplishments and grit
