Running back at Letcher County Central. He had 454 rushing yards and 6 td's against Pike Central last Friday night. Pretty talented kid.

Here are some highlights from the game.

I am sure the coaching staff is on him and will go after him if they think he is SEC grade.

The question is what is this kids measurables and what is his 40 time?

It also sounds like the completion wasn't much. It is hard to put up 450 plus yards rushing against a decent sandlot team.

Heck if I was the coaching staff I would be looking at the players blocking for him. He must to have had some huge holes to gain all that yardage.

 

[UKRob 73]

If you look at the video, looks like its slow motion the defense is so bad.

 

[Cats78]

Hard to tell. Plays against pitiful competition.

 

[GYERater]

High school stats like that typically have more to do with the competition than the player.

That may be, but it is still hard to get 450+ rushing yards in a game.

They had him listed at 5'10", 196, 4.47 40 yard dash.

Competition suck's here in the mountains,, still 450+ yds is 450+ yds.. Would have been nice if he'd stayed in Knott to play this year with KCCs 6'7" 245 lb freshman QB..

 

[uk_king_cat2]

Sure looks the part. But like others have said....Look at the quality of competition he is faced with. It's poor

 

[8XCHAMP]

Is Mike Major coaching HS defense now?

 

[O C-A-T-S 06]

450 is impressive anyway you write it. Looks like Rivals has him as a 5.2 two star. Just kinda hurts with the competition level, if he really is 5'10 196 with 4.47 forty, that could warrant some attention.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Needs to camp at UK.

 

[Supafuzz75]

Needs to camp at UK.

Should have.. He's a senior this year.. Someone said he went to Ohio States camp and posted a 104.63 Nike spark score a couple mths ago,, whatever that means?

 

[DaBossIsBack]

That is not 4.4 speed. That's not even 4.6 speed. Probably closer to 4.7 something. Plus it's easy to rack up 450 when you're playing against 160 lb white kids.

 

[BleedBlue32]

This kid reminds me of J.J. Jude, a running back from Johnson Central back in 2012. Jude was a great HS player, unstoppable really at that level, but in no way was a major D1 player. I think he currently plays at EKU, which is probably about Williams' level as well.

 

[BleedBlue32]

Actually, as far as mountain running backs go, Brandon Jones at Hazard was better than Williams and I think he only ended up at UPike.

 

[Supafuzz75]

Just looked it up,, 130+ is elite level talent.. So 104 is pretty weak..

 

[Brock28]

I never said he was the 2nd coming, I just said he was a talented kid. I couldn't rush for 450 yards against a pee wee team.

I couldn't rush for 450 on an open field just by myself.. Have a heartache by 150 yds..

Todd Gurley had a score of 122.3 for comparison. That was measured in college. Probably not that high coming in.

Soso Jamabo,, top rb at UCLA was 103,, so 104 isn't that bad I take it?

 

[CloverforkCat]

He will get plenty more opportunities to show his stuff during the season, Letcher County is a 5A school, the competition will get much tougher during the course of the season.

 

[dustarm20]

Not great, but not a bad player. Can definitely play small college ball.

 

[Brock28]

He's leading the state in rushing. Here are some highlights. Enjoy...

Heck with him, sign his OL. That's what UK needs.

Couldn't be any worse, lol.

 

[kentucky_wildcat_#1]

Even though 450+ yards look impressing no matter what, sadly, it still doesn't mean he's SEC level talent. Like someone said already, rbs really ain't our problem. We need guys on the offensive line. When we get those guys, we are really ready to compete.
