Cool we got a rb

 

[Redbar]

Congratulations to Kyren and the Williams family, glad to have you on board!

 

[snoopdog]

Very Nice

 

[Irish YJ]

Nice!!
Cuts, catches, and runs hard.
Not a burner, but I bet he can improve on the speed.
I'll take a hard running back with good hands that can make a decent cut all day long.

But Jamie, this is impossible. IE has already deemed him small and slow.

For those caring about rankings, Kyren Williams is a .8851 composite on 247 with I think a solid chance of moving up. He’s the #19 RB in the country with a 90 being in the #18 spot so he’s knocking on the door of 4* status. At Rivals they had him ranked as a WR then ATH and he’s #34 where #27 is a 4*. I think after posting a dynamic senior season Kyren will be a 4* RB commit and might be pushing that .9000 composite score, but then again Barton Simmons turns off ND commits game tapes and is bush reranking Ohio State and the SEC more favorably. Bottom line, Autry Denson got his man and this guy looks like an electric playmaker out of the backfield and all over the field.

 

[OhioIrish31]

Great announcement!

Yeah...that was great. Welcome Kyren!

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

Great get.

 

[NDIrish88]

I honestly thought we would land one more 2020 player before we got a skill player for 2019

He's only about 40 spots removed from the 4*s right now as it is. At that point, I barely bother to draw star distinctions. Call him a 3.75*.

I like this class, and we ain't done yet.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Does he remind anyone else of Mike Hart from Michigan just a tad?

 

[NDdomer2]

Dude is pretty well built

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Love it! Go Irish!

 

[IrishLax]

First time watching his film.... if he had a tiny bit better top end speed that's a 5-star player. Great balance, great hands, great lateral agility for a RB. I don't think he's going to run away from people at the DI level though.

Now that you mention it, definitely does a little bit. Might just be the uniforms tho ..barf

Great addition to the class. Welcome to ND Kyren. I’d bet he has a productive career

 

[T-Boone]

Very evasive, great vision, low centre of gravity.

He looks really fast in traffic but not so much in open space.

Welcome to ND.

 

[BGIF]

Very evasive, great vision, low centre of gravity.

He looks really fast in traffic but not so much in open space.

Better to be fast where the tacklers are.

Denson had 43 TDs but his longest run was only about 50 yds. If Williams evasiveness, vision and low center of gravity are similar to Denson's, he's gonna make a lot of potential first tacklers miss.
