IN HIS OWN WORDS...

"I have 12 offers now," Williams said. "The schools that are doing a good job with me right now are Virginia, Michigan State, West Virginia, and Pittsburgh.

"All the Virginia fans are welcoming and they're trying their hardest to get me to commit," he said. "I love that. They're really reaching out. Their offensive line coach always reacts to my messages. We talk a lot too.

"Pittsburgh usually hits my coach up and asks about me," said Williams. "I hear a lot of good things about that.

"Michigan State wants to keep a good relationship with me so they want me to call them like every week or two to talk," he said. "I haven't been there yet.

"Visiting West Virginia was a really good experience," Williams said. "I've been up there twice so far and the last time I got really good vibes. That coach showed us a lot of love. He brought us to his office and we sat in there for a while to talk. I also talked to the offensive line coach. We went to the basketball game and I know they have a lot more fans at the football games but it was still really loud so I know the football games will be crazy."

RIVALS' REACTION...

Williams is an aggressive offensive lineman with a strong upper body who excels as a run blocker. He can pave the way for his running backs and does a good job controlling the defensive lineman in front of him. As a pass blocker, Williams is going to continue to work on his lateral agility, showing patience, and adjusting his timing. Look for teams like West Virginia and others to continue to stay in touch as they determine which offensive linemen in the 2022 class to prioritize.
