Williams is strong at the point of attack, can create knockback on 1 on 1 blocks, and can easily disengage to provide run support. The size and upper body strength are there, I think if he continues to work on his first step the sky is the limit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14484789/636025fa041e5b154033582d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642c3a5396fa7"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>TE: [player_tooltip player_id='537212' first='Aiden' last='Moriarty'] 6'4" 225, Oswego East</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure hands catcher with a nasty side to him. Aiden has a ton of pop behind his punch, is a consistent intermediate threat, and has outstanding body control for a man his size. He's a firm blocker in space and is someone you don't wanna see coming at you as a swiper on split zone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15787712/6356c078578e970b2cf240f1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642c3a5396fd8"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>DB: Khalil Nichols, 5'11" 160, Oak Park-River Forest</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An instinctive playmaker with exceptional ball skills. Nichols is comfortable playing man in the slot, has great route recognition in zone, and overall impressive top-end speed. His feet stay within the framework on his breaks and he's a more than willing tackler when running the alley. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15967414/63581c8d578e970b2cf3e45c' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642c3a5396ff7"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>LB: Cooper Caraway, 6'3" 225, Normal Community</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reads his open guard and triggers at a moment's notice. Cooper has great size for a mike linebacker, can fight through first-level blocks as a blitzer, and limits cutback opportunities with his angles to the tackle. His short area quickness gives 2nd level blockers issues and he does an adequate job scraping down the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15563239/6373b9793448830a0ca858ab' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642c3a5397015"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>DE: [player_tooltip player_id='271804' first='Dexter' last='Niekamp'] 6'4" 220, Normal</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Controls tackles as a rusher and can detach &amp; come off for almost effortless sacks. He's got an outstanding first step, retraces in his rush lane if he's too far upfield, and consistently chases the football downfield.
