SIGNED - S Aaron Williams

Aaron Williams can pretty much play every position, so we're not quite sure which position he'll fit into on the Starting 11, but we know we want him a part of it.


The starting running back…or maybe starting cornerback…starting safety? The senior form Carver High School in Atlanta has helped his team everywhere on the football field. It's that ability that has earned Williams the title of this week's #Team11 Athlete of the Week.

Williams has racked up 454 all-purpose yards this season and has four touchdowns. Don't forget his stats on the defensive side of the ball which include 104 total tackles and six tackles for a loss.

"He's always shown those athletic attributes to be a two-sided player," Carver head coach Darren Myles said.

Williams has been a starter since his freshman year, but he's been everything from a quarterback, to a running back, to a safety. His versatility mixed with leadership is what makes him a dream come true for a coach.

"He's a coach on the field," Myers said. "When they break out of the huddle, he's calling that formation. He doesn't have to look to the sideline and ask."

While we like to think that we here on #Team11 discover the top talent in metro Atlanta, we can't take all the credit on finding Williams. The University of Nebraska beat us to it and has already received a solid commit from the senior.

Most underrated recruit in this class. Kid is a stud, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see on the field in some capacity next year.

Agree.

Our secondary should be stacked for several years.

Gerry, Alexander and Williams have already shown they can play. Williams looks like a tackling machine and we have singleton and Gifford to go along with them.

At corner, Kalu has looked really good so far and Jones has gotten on the field as a true frosh. Mosley is supposedly the most skilled of the freshmen but needs to get stronger. Plus we have Anderson and Lee coming in. All those guys have at least three years after this one and CJax has two more.

And Boaz Joseph but I haven't heard or seen much of him

 
AWill certainly has pop off the page stats at the high school level. Really hope it translates.

Gratuitous plug for a hard look at S&C this offseason. We could have all the talented recruits in the world. Won't matter if they can get on the field and stay healthy.

 
Bussey isn't the only Nebraska commit receiving attending from other schools. Several schools are pursuing Williams, the two strongest are Miss St and UNC, but it sounds like he is solid with his commitment. Link

You don't sign as an early enrollee all the way from Atlanta and bring your parents up from a long drive if you're a flaky recruit. That trip likely cemented things with them. I think Aaron is a steal. Thanks for the nugget.

Christian lactotoure seemed like the most solid commit ever he even moved to Nebraska to get a early adjustment and be with banderas. Then flipped to Lsu so signing a financial paper doesn't mean he's a lock N although I think he is very solid
