Headliner: Three-star running back Dominic Williams

Overview: After a season like Kansas had last year, landing any big-time recruits would be a huge bonus. Defensive back Michael Lee would be the headliner here, but he’s on campus early and ready to impact rather than remain part of the 2017 class. Lee’s commitment helped Kansas in Louisiana, where they have also pulled three-star athlete Travis Jordan and three star defensive end Troy James. Running back Williams is a big grab from Texas who is low to the ground but powerful and should impact early. Wide receiver Reggie Roberson will be a guy who can play outside or inside. JUCO defensive end Jamie Tago could be a big-time sleeper. He's very raw but physically gifted.
