Interesting tidbit

Maybe we can redshirt a freshman RB after all.... https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/report-south-carolina-graduate-transfer-rb-david-williams-visits-sec-west-program/

It seems there will always be a Williams at running back for Arkansas!

[scooby21322]

I keep seeing that he transferred to UConn though?

Not officially, he committed to going there, but other options have opened up.

Any news on how his visit went?  He sounds like a nice addition.

according to 247Sports... rated a four-star prospect and No. 131 on the ESPN150... considered the nation's 11th-best running back by MaxPreps... turned down offers from Ohio State, Arizona State, Tennessee, Miami, Arizona, Auburn and Boston College among others.

Sign him up.

From reading South Carolina fans' comments he seems a bit like Ronnie Wingo

So he runs a great wheel route?

One of the hardest players to figure out during his time here.

Had all the physical tools, and in the end was probably a track star more than a football player.

He didn't like contact. He ran up right. Reverse those 2 and he is probably a starter.

well, we dont need him to carry the load. He has the initial talent plus 4 years in a college weight room. He's a senior and I hope he comes b/c he could easily get 600 + yards for us in a backup role imo.

They did say he is a really good blocker which would be a big help, just that his vision isn't good and that he goes down at the sign of first contact even though he might be their most talented RB physically. One poster said he might fit better in an I-formation offense though.

Wingo and Broderick Green would have killed in an I Formation.  Too many times initial contact happened before they got up to speed. and neither were really shifty.

does sound like wingo lol. Well, here's to trying! beats having no depth at all by a long shot, and hell, if he's a good blocker than that would be huge b/c RWIII was a damn good one and we'll miss that.
