has emerged as one of the premier overall prospects in the state of Maryland, cementing his status as a true multi-phase impact player. Already known for his physical, downhill style at running back, Williams expanded his résumé this season by taking on a significant defensive role, showcasing the kind of versatility college staffs covet at the next level.
Offensively, Williams is built like a prototypical back at 5-foot-9, 200 pounds, delivering a jolt on contact, he runs with a low center of gravity, combines strength with suddenness, and has the balance to shake the first defender in the open field. This season, he further expanded his skill set by proving he can be a factor in the passing game, functioning effectively as a receiving back on screens and flexing into the slot to create mismatches against linebackers.
With his combination of power, explosiveness, and two-way versatility, Williams is a prospect whose game continues to evolve.

A recent de-commit from ODU, Breyon is back on the market and his recruitment is heating back up. Picking up and offer from Howard U last week, I don’t think it will be his last new offer in the next few week before signing day.
Breyon is a dynamic versatile ATH that can fit a lot of different schemes on both sides of the ball. He plays RB and some slot WR on offense, and an over hang SS/OLB on defense. Looking every bit the part on the hoof, he is a rocked up muscled up dude. On offense he has deceptive speed & wiggle. Breyon hits the hole hard with good burst and show nice vision & balance. Runs behind his pads but has twitch in hips, can make defenders miss. That translates to him being a plus player as a receiver out the backfield or lining up in the slot. On Defense he plays with excellent instincts, physicality and a nose for the ball. Breyon is able to make plays the the LOS or in coverage.
Breyon is a player with a lot of potential and playmaking ability in numerous ways. Any program that has a plan on how to use him, on either side of the ball, will be getting a ton of value.
Blessed to receive an offer from Howard University! #AGTG @DaVaunJohnson4 @patward71 @CoachCellus pic.twitter.com/QqMmjQtLdA

Breon Williams: Elusive Playmaker with Next-Level Vision
Breon Williams is a dynamic, slashing running back who thrives in tight spaces and consistently turns small creases into explosive gains.
Whether he’s hitting cutback lanes at the line of scrimmage or navigating through chaos downfield, Williams runs with a blend of fluidity and control that’s rare at the high school level. His balance through contact and ability to accelerate out of breaks allow him to rack up yards, while his field awareness gives him a clear edge.
Coming off a standout 2024 season in which he earned All-WCAC honors, Williams’ recruiting stock continues to rise. He currently holds more than 10 Division I offers, including recent interest from Elon, and Albany. As his senior campaign approaches, expect even more programs to take notice of his playmaking pedigree.
At a program like St. John’s (D.C.), where talent runs deep, Williams stands out as a key weapon. The Cadets will no doubt look for creative ways to get the ball in his hands, whether out of the backfield, in the screen game, or on designed runs, to capitalize on his ability to flip the field.

Breyon is your athlete that can do it all from playing rb to lining up at slot to playing outside linebacker. He has a great iq for the game understanding coverages and has great patience at the running back position as well. He has good route running ability and makes himself qb friendly by getting open while the qb extends the play. He is hard to bring down as well arm tackles doesn’t work with his massive legs he will run right through arm tackles and he is a very smooth runner for his size as well. His lateral quickness comes easily for being a bigger back.

Williams hit the ground at full speed and really turn3d some heads during his high school debut season. He already has great size at 5’10 200lbs and put some skills on display on both sides of the ball. Offensively at running back he’s a threat out of the back field and runs with some purpose. Williams muscles his way through arm tackles and fights for extra yards. Defensively from his strong safety position he is a hard hitter who can close on the run and screen game quick. His size and power allow him to fight off blocks and put himself in position to make plays. Williams had a few offers roll in this off-season, most recently USF and Toledo.
