Williams is another relocated Pittsburgh native and present Texas all-world athlete who will also be in attendance at the Top 150 camp. Williams is a deep threat that is also very savvy when he plays the WR position. He has strong hands with a vast catch radius and top-notch body control when he runs routes. He’s explosive off the line, and if given a free release at the line of scrimmage, he will create separation. He’s unpredictable due to his speed and the ability to get in and out of his breaks. He’s skilled at using his leverage to set the DB up at the top of his routes. His football intelligence is evident by the way he’s able to find the holes and sit down in zone coverage. Williams is a 3-sport standout with a 3.9 GPA to go along with his physical gifts. Taz has been a hot recruit on the national scene for the class of 2025 for some time now.
