Expert Analysis

Fellow 2026 graduate and teammate of Williams is linebacker Ezekiel Penick Ezekiel Penick 5'10" | 175 lbs | LB Elizabeth | 2026 State NJ . Penick appears to have lined up at mike/sam backer last year and was credited with 50 tackles (18 solo), 2.5 TFL, 1 sack, and 3 FR. For the track star Penick, speed his the name of his game. He accelerates through the hole, bursting as he gets closer to the ball carrier, when he is called to blitz. Similarly, he appears to rotate coverage to his side very well against sprint out by leveraging his speed and forcing an early throw by the quarterback or even securing a sack. When in man coverage Penick can run step-for-step with any running back running the deep wheel up the sideline too. Disciplined in playing his gap, when cutbacks occur or the play is away from him he fills the cutback lane nicely. Although he possesses outstanding recovery speed that he uses well, Penick’s ability to read his keys has room for improvement. Combine his elite speed with the vision of a seasoned linebacker who puts himself in the right position, opponents will constantly be forced to cutback and run against the grain.
