Oregon making run at five-star LB

Bolingbrook (Ill.) linebacker Kyle Williams has a new top five list, and according to Williams one West Coast school has jumped up the charts over the last few weeks.

"I've got a new Top five schools list," the five-star linebacker that is 6-foot-2 and 217 pounds said.

"My top five schools are Iowa, Miami, Oregon, UCLA and Purdue. I would add both Ohio State and Oklahoma as two additional schools that I am still giving alot of consideration towards, but the first five schools are the one's that I'm giving the most consideration to right now."

Both Iowa and Miami has remained at the top of Williams list, yet the Oregon Ducks have shot up the charts over the last few weeks according to Williams.

"Oregon has really stepped up it's recruiting over the last few weeks," he said. "I'm getting handwriten mail from them daily. I've also called both Head Coach (Mike) Bellotti and linebacker coach (Don) Pellum and I've had good talks with both of them. Oregon seems to have alot going for them and I've been doing alot of research on their program.

"I like the fact that they had a good graduation rate for football players and overall it's a great program."

Williams, who will finish summer school next week and is ranked as the nation's No. 2 outside linebacker, is looking forward toward this coming Saturday's Bolingbrook Passing Jamboree.

"No doubt the Passing Jamboree is a good time," he said. "We'll have over 36 teams from all over and we seem to have some of the best teams in the state here on Saturday."

So will Williams kick back and enjoy the rest of his summer hanging out at the pool and chasing the ladies around?

Hardly.

"I'm going to get back on the road with my Dad in a few weeks and were going to make several unofficial visits," he said. "I'm still trying to get all of the schools and the dates straight, and once I do I'll let everyone know."
