About Antonio
Expert Analysis
Bryan Ault | Prep Redzone Scout
Williams, who transferred to Hoban from Cleveland Heights, played just five games but made them count. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound safety prospect had 31 tackles, three pass breakups and one tackle-for-loss. He is very feisty in coverage, displays good use-of-hands and ability to cover and carry deep routes. He already holds three Division I offers.

Played beside Kindall Brown, an athlete whose name you’ll see featured lower on this list. Safety reps from what I recall, yet a body/build that could be tasked with playing any DB alignment, especially in a 7v7 setting. Oustanding feet and balance, Williams was witnessed reading his half-field, moving laterally as he saw fit, and exploding onto the football when targetted. Fantastic build, one suitable for DB, Willliams Jr. was able to force windows closed, especially reads that wanted to work the middle of the field. Great sense for in-breaking routes, breaks on the ball like a hawk to prey. I didn’t get to see many passers challenge Williams deep, so I can’t speak on his range/running skills. Still, Caleb Holfoth, as well as myself, raved about the skillset this young man brings to the table. Likely an even better football player on Friday nights.

Antonio is a versatile DB that can play both outside corner and safety. He shows he can play outside in 1 on 1 man coverage with good closing speed and the ability to get his head around and play the ball in the air. He has a good transition from his back pedal to turning and running with the receiver and can change direction quickly. Antonio currently has 2 D1 offers both from MAC schools. With his skill set as a DB, I can see more G5 schools begin to take more interest.
