Has he grown any? What would you put him at Height/Weight-wise?


I'll ask him tomorrow...he may have grown an inch or two and I'd put his weight at a very compact 160 to 170 range. His dad is now an assistant at Colerain and if his dad is any indication of how Tyler will fill out/grow, OSU or any other major D1 college program would be wise to seriously consider this kid. Yes, I'm biased to Colerain kids and I won't deny that so, as always, take what I post for what its worth.

How big is his dad? I think Williams just needs to be in the 5'9 range for an offer...Jordan Hall is 5'9 or 5'10 and I think much higher of Williams as a player (no knock on Hall but Williams is just a blazer). I'm really hoping both he and Wynn grow a couple inches because they are both really special athletes.

5'9 is a stretch. Just going on me standing next to each guy he's barely bigger than Antoine Winfield.

Tyler's dad is a solid 5-10, 230...
I'd put Tyler at about 5-7 right now...but he is only 15 years old. He may be a late bloomer.

Juniors become perfect RB duo | Cincinnati.com | The Cincinnati Enquirer

By game's end, the 5-foot-7, 150-pound Williams had rushed for 66 yards on seven carries and added a 46-yard punt return, while classmate Trayion Durham, a 6-1, 200-pound fullback who has bulked up to 225 this season, had rushed for 41 yards on 11 carries. Not gaudy numbers, but both had proven they belonged on the field against top-notch competition despite their youth.

"I knew they were good their freshman year, but it wasn't until midway through that year that I realized they're going to be the guys the next season," said. Bolden. "You always worry about sophomores from a mental standpoint. Are they ready to take that step up?"

By the end of the season both had rushed for more than 1,000 yards in helping Colerain reach the Division I regional championship game, where it lost to Elder in overtime. Williams led the way with 1,269 yards on just 123 carries - a whopping 10.3 yards a pop - while Durham got the tough yardage between the tackles as the first option of the triple-option and finished with 1,032 yards on a team-high 176 carries.

Good read...

Though the Elder defense didn't allow him to get to the edge, I was really impressed with Tyler at receiver. He beat the coverage at will and really it is a shame he doesn't have a QB to get him the ball, because he was open all day (as well as a couple other Colerain players). The DB's tried to play conservative vertically and still got beat.

Colerain wins 4th straight | Community Press & Recorder | CommunityPress.com

Colerain had 461 yards on the ground and was led by senior quarterback Greg Tabar, who ran for 221 yards and a touchdown; juniors Trayion Durham and Tyler Williams, meanwhile, combined for 200 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

"Offensively, it's been somebody else each week, and that's kind of what you get when you run the option," Bolden said.

In a 48-24 win over Lakota East Sept. 18, that somebody was Williams, who totaled 219 yards on 11 carries - a silly 19.9 yards per touch. He also had a 63-yard punt return for a touchdown, as Colerain amassed 561 yards - only three of which came through the air.
