3-star WR Williams talks Duke, UCF offers
Class of 2016 three-star Riverview (Fla.) Spoto athlete Terence Williams is becoming a popular name in recruiting circles in the Southeast, with his offer list recently doubling with the addition of Duke and UCF to his list.
Both schools offered in January and both took Williams by surprise, especially the one from the Blue Devils.

"It was surprising because I had never really heard from them like that," the 6-foot-1, 186-pound Williams said. "I get letters and stuff but they came down to the school to see me and they liked me and the offer came right after that."
Williams plays wide receiver and defensive back for his high school and said right now Duke is recruiting him to play on either side of the ball.
"They're recruiting me as an athlete," Williams said. "They told me they can see me playing wide receiver or defensive back. I really don't know much about their team because I wasn't expecting them to be interested in me but now I'm going to do some research."
Right before the Blue Devils offered, so did nearby UCF, a school Williams said he knows a little more about.
"I picked that up last month, too," Williams said. "It was exciting. I know they're a good school, a smart school and they offer a good educational aspect, too."
The Knights recruit the Tampa Bay area hard and Williams said he already feels like a priority recruit for the school. Instead of recruiting him as an athlete, UCF has already told Williams they think he can be a contributor with the ball in his hands.
"They see me playing wide receiver and having the chance to be a kick returner, punt returner," he said. "They said I can fit in real well to what they do."
Other schools showing interest in Williams include Syracuse, Florida State, Clemson, USF and Wake Forest.
He said three schools are on his ultimate wish list for an offer in the future.
"I really want to visit Oregon," he said. "My dream schools are Florida State and Clemson but I really want to see Oregon and see what they have to offer."
