Van Meter ran into a buzz saw in the state championship game with Kuemper Catholic. It didn’t dim the rising star in Williams, however. He flashed ability on both sides of the ball during the state semis and final in the UNI-Dome. He produced 10.0 tackles, an interception and a tackle for loss in the title game. Against previously unbeaten Osage in the semifinal, he rushed for 94 yards and two scores with 10.0 tackles and another TFL. Williams rushed for over 1,000 yards and 16 scores while being a threat as a receiver out of the backfield this year. He had 84.0 tackles (8.0 TFL, 2.5 sacks) and two picks. Williams could end up playing running back on the next level. He shows good vision, cutting ability and burst. Those traits also work well on defense, where he could be develop into a hybrid safety-linebacker with coverage skills and knack for supporting the run. Adding strength this offseason will be a priority.
