. He is big, strong, and a nightmare to get off his spot. C-FC couldn’t get things rolling between the tackles and a big reason was Dante. He dominated his man and could find the ball while doing it. His ability to disengage last second was key to his tackles on the day. The senior is another late steal in the Class of 2026.

Williams’ polished technique and nimble footwork became evident in drills focused on rushing the passer and mirroring lateral agility. His hips are quick, and he reacts with conviction. Williams, a senior at St. Joseph Catholic Academy (WI), has a combination of power and coordination that helps him navigate A and B gaps with confidence. A few times, I saw him refine leverage and hand usage when slightly moved off his spot.

Another freshman standout is one of the top freshman DL that I have come across. Dante is just under 6′ and 260 lbs. Dante put numbers to the quickness that we saw on tape. His 5.12 was one of the top times for the DL in the shuttle. Body control, flexibility, and agility are natural strengths of his that we got to see in the one on ones. When he couldn’t win the rep with quickness, Dante also showed us that he had the strength to be able to overpower his opponent. Either by walking them into the backfield or having his strong hands chop away the OL’s hands. Dante is a prospect to know these next few years.

. The current DL2 for the Class of 2026 stands out on tape with his well developed strength in the trenches. His ability to control the line of scrimmage and shed blocks have keyed his success. I’m excited to see him in this environment where his athleticism will get a chance to shine through. He is going to be in position to really break onto the scene and kick off his recruitment as he heads into his sophomore season. I’m very excited to see him in person.

The SJCA freshman DL has an exciting skill set developing. Dante has shown that he has the strength to dominate the line of scrimmage. He has a powerful lower body that gives him the ability to hold the line when he sinks his hips. Then he can uses his heavy hands to throw OL off and make tackles. Williams also brings eye opening explosiveness. He can launch out of his stance, eat up the cushion between him and the OL, and drive OL off the ball into the backfield blowing up plays. Dante also has quickness in his feet that allow him to close and change direction quickly. He can become a consistent game wrecker.
