'24 MO RB Aneyas Williams (Notre Dame Signee)

[NDMD]

He showed great versatility vs Stanford, this year & last year he took advantage of his opportunities on the field.

Kyren Williams 2.0 and he is going to be fun to watch next season.

I think he's more explosive than Kyren, but not at strong. Seems to be more of a weapon in the passing game, too. I think he's in for a massive 2026.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I think he will be at somewhere around 1100-1200 yards rushing next year book mark it

I don't see the Kyren comparison, but think Aneyas is going to have a huge year if Price goes pro.

I think it's just similar physical profile + from St. Louis. But I agree they are very different runners

Wanna bet?

You also said Burress may be Top 2 in receiving yards… initially wasn’t it 5th?

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

There’s too many variables to make any bets about next year: Price doesn’t go pro, Williams transfers, they bring in a transfer, and offseason injuries.

If Williams is rb1 next year he’s going to rush for 1000 yards and have another 30+ receptions as Carr’s check down.

1500+ APY.

Whatever numbers you guys want to speculate about, an optimist would remember you should have Jag, Schrauth and Craig back with a whole lot of competition to be in the top 6-7. Those are some big-assed road graders.

 

[BeatSC]

Jim Plunkett?

Native American I think.

I thought Jags had a setback a while back that made it unlikely he’d return.

Yeah, I wouldn’t count on him.

I believe that it is unlikely he’d be able to return this season, not supposed to be an issue for 2026.

Thanks. I thought we talking playoffs. My bad.

Plunkett is Native American.

Not unless Denbrock goes with a one back approach.

 

[spoonidentity]

Not unless Denbrock goes with a one back approach.

Not sure if you're being serious or just making a joke.

It's almost certainly Jajuan Seider's decision... Denbrock was OC last year with a 5 man rotation and McCullough as RB coach

 

[BeatSC]

If we have more than two really good RBs next year I want to see them all play. How come we have said nothing about Payne? He runs hard and catches passes well. Been loyal to ND. I think he’s a starter at many programs.

 

[IRISHbluehen]

I think having 4 good backs is quite different than having 2 bona fide NFL backs. Payne will be elsewhere next year almost certainly.

Ok just wanted him to get mentioned somewhere since he’s been a good soldier and had some contributing moments in his time here. Getting hurt last year opened the door for Williams who I think will be a legit #1 back next year until some phenom emerges.

 

[Huntr]

You're up.

LFG

 

[RudyVerse]

I think he’s going to be more consistent than both Love and Price. Less extraordinary but I believe in him.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Love was far from inconsistent IMO. I'll give you Price though.

 

[thekid33]

"When Love declared, a part of me declared with him. But, now you're RB1. You're the one who is going to keep his spirit alive."

 

[ulukinatme]

Backfield is in good hands.

 

[Wild Bill]

Love only broke off a 40 plus yard run in half the games they played. He could have been more consistent and did it in every game.

[T-Boone]

Just about every time Aneyas W has had an opportunity he has had some big route/catch that make one think he could play as a receiver so there is reason to be optimistic he can be a big asset for Carr. If we got Eli Raridon back I'd already feel pretty good about the Carrs optsions.

 

[Rudy89]

Time for him to be the man next year.

 

[CoachB]

I have been super impressed with Williams. He blocks well, catches the ball well, runs good routes, is physical, has good speed, hits the hole hard, and has great leg drive always causing him to fall forward. I am a big fan. We shall see how it goes.
