really came into his own when the offense needed him most in the second half of the season, and his vision was a big reason why. After his quarterback went down, Williams took on a larger role and gave the unit a spark, consistently finding ways to create yards. Williams does a nice job locating running lanes, staying patient just long enough before hitting them with burst. He sees space quickly, makes sharp cuts, and avoids traffic instead of running into it. That ability to find daylight and maximize each carry helped Williams carry the load down the stretch and show what he’s capable of.

closed his junior season as one of the Eagles’ most dynamic offensive pieces and a player trending upward heading into a pivotal senior year. Emerging as a go-to playmaker in a more run-focused scheme, Williams proved he can impact the game in multiple phases, whether carrying the load offensively or flipping field position as a dangerous kick returner. His ability to operate in space, follow blocks, and hit a crease with top-end speed makes him a constant big-play threat. The next step for Williams will be to build on that late-season momentum, continue refining his all-around game, and take on an even larger role in the offense. If he does, he has a real chance to elevate both his production and recruiting profile as one of the more versatile playmakers in the 2027 class.

emerged as a top playmaker for the Eagles as a junior and is worth a close look by colleges heading into his senior year. He can be utilized in a variety of ways on offense and doubles as a standout kick returner who can change the momentum of the game quickly in both phases. Williams is an elusive athlete who plays well in space and has the top-end speed to outrun defenders consistently if he gets a crease.

. He’s an explosive athlete who does a great job as a returner on special teams as well and is a threat to score any time he touches the ball. Williams follows his blocks well and has the burst to accelerate once he finds a crease for a big gain. The Eagles can build around this new scheme and the emergence of Williams for the future.

is another playmaker that the Eagles can utilize in all three phases of the game. Williams made a big impact on special teams as a kicker returner during his sophomore year, and should see increased touches on offense as a junior this season. They’ll need someone to step up at running back this season to provide balance for a potentially talented passing attack, and Williams has the athletic skill set to be a top name at the position.
