Williams earns MVP honors

FORT WORTH, Texas – After his brother, defensive back Malcolm Williams signed with Oklahoma a few years ago, the next Williams, Justin Williams, was the star of the defensive line at this past Saturday's NIKE Training Camp at Texas Christian University.
Williams took home the defensive line MVP honors after being a force in the one-on-one drills. He beat blockers with his quick first step, a myriad of pass rushing moves and his ability to stay lower than the offensive players.

Williams, though not as tall as other prospect on hand, was quick off the line and very physical. He has yet to pick up his first scholarship offer, but he did a lot for his stock on Saturday.
"I've been hearing from Oklahoma State, Louisiana Tech and Colorado State the most," Williams said. "I don't really have any offers. I haven't chosen where I want to go yet. I want to make my decision based on what I want to major in. I want to major in a technical thing, and I want to go to a school that is real high tech. I want to be a computer hardware."
Williams was definitely impressive on Saturday, but the one drawback that he does have is that he is only 5-foot-11 and 277 pounds. But he is productive without a doubt – proving that on Saturday and also on the field as a junior. In 2006, he had 48 tackles, 15 pass breakups and five sacks.
"They haven't talked to me about what position they want me at, but I assume it's defensive tackle since that's what I'm best at," he said.
"I think I did a good job today and hopefully the coaches that were here can see that I'm a good player. I hope they see that, rather than I'm only 5-11 or 6-foot. Colorado State came to my school to get my film. I'm going to send out some tape in spring ball.
"They'll like what they see."
Just like what they saw on Saturday.
"I don't care where I go, as long as I get there, settle down and get to meet everybody," Williams said.
"My mom is a truck driver, so she'll see me wherever I'm at because she's on the road. I have to make my own decision."
