The website picked which players in the SEC they thought were some dark horse candidates to become All-Americans this season. Here's what they had to say about picking Boom:
"Kentucky running back Stanley "Boom" Williams is already known as one of the most electric players in the SEC, and now he might be getting more of a shot to shine as an every-down running back who's more than just a big-play guy.
"He's so talented, he always wanted to just make a big play every play, wasn't really satisfied with getting what was there, wouldn't just stick his foot in the ground and get the tough yards," running backs coach Chad Scott said this spring according to Kyle Tucker of the Courier-Journal. "Now he's understanding that, and because he's understanding that, the defense softens up a little bit and he's in position."
If that happens, look out.
Williams has already proved his worth as one of the best kickoff returners in the SEC after he averaged 26.89 yards per return a year ago. If he adds workhorse to his resume in addition to what's already on there, he has a chance to make some All-American noise as a running back and returner."
