Willliam Gaines is flying under the radar but will play at the next level. He plays with heart, showcasing his motor throughout the whistle. Gaines is assignment sound and flies to the football with good foot quickness.

After testing my 40 this past week at practice I improved to a personal best of 4.58 training everyday to get that down even more @searcyfootball @CoachWeddle_SHS @zclark730 @dlawrence03 @PrepRedzoneAR @tctabler @CoachAshSearcy pic.twitter.com/W5cPqAIs1p
