DB Kaine Williams N (RS-Frosh 4* Transfer From AL)

[NE FREAK]

Yes, you always target needs in the portal, but you also never pass up an opportunity to grab a talent you consider too good to pass up.

It's what the staff did with Travis Vokolek. Remember how stacked the TE room was when they added him in June of 2019? Fans openly questioned why the staff added him. Now where would you be without him?

Williams is the 8th new DB they've added this cycle. They're rebuilding the room. If the staff thinks he's a piece worth taking, I'd trust them.

Plus he has 4 years of eligibility!!

... almost like getting a HS kid without all those years of trying.

Exactly

Fisher has nicely rebuilt the DB room that for a while was looking a bit thin and light on experience. Williams seems likes another good add.

Something to ponder in that LSU recruited him as a LB out of high school

Perhaps he becomes a hybrid guy?

Nickel etc?

Size tells me that LB could be his future. Not a sexy move on the surface for the young man, but it’s not like he’s moving from TE to C….. wait, perhaps that could be a $exy move!!

Yes he does

That's what LSU was looking at out of HS

If Fish can make him a downhill safety he'll be a safety more than likely.

Yep, I trust Fisher with his group.

Worst case scenario, good athlete for special teams.

Great get by the coaches!

Mickey Joseph and Bill Busch recruited him for LSU last year too...

There you go perhaps the move to LB and Nickel is in play then

When McBride changed his defense in early 90s, they made linebackers out of safeties. That worked out fairly well
