Sante McWilliams Jr is an explosive, feisty runner with good tape as a runner, receiver, and a blocker. He is listed at 5’9 180, but is built with a low center of gravity and runs with good pad level. He doesn’t shy away from contact, winning the leverage battle with tacklers once he pops them, driving them backwards or completely knocking them to the turf. He is more than just a “cloud of dust” runner. He has explosive, unpredictable footwork that causes tacklers to freeze or over pursue. He possesses the breakaway speed needed to explode through openings and outrun angles to the endzone. Factor in willingness as a blocker and experience as a receiver across several levels, and McWilliams is an every down option at RB with a physical edge. McWilliams has added several D1 offers this spring.

McWilliams is a quick accelerator on cuts. He has a touchy throttle button and uses it with impressive freedom. He also brings great long-track explosiveness upfield and can stretch space when he has an opening.

Going further, McWilliams is controlled with his throttle and has shown to speed up and hit an extra gear to evade threats of contact. Even when he’s not working with a lot of space, he has the explosiveness to make the most of small seams at the second level.
