DE/LB Nathan Williams (official thread)

[Frohlich]

Story I heard from a player on the team is that they were all at a team dinner Monday night and Coleman speared him the back and layed him out. Coleman got up and flashed a shit eating grin at everyone. Tressel made a comment to all the players that it was a "fair" hit and all players should be aware of their surroundings at all times. Hopefully Nathan will learn from this mistake and start paying more attention.

Williams has made a play EVERY TIME he's in. I don't know why the heck he's not getting a lot more attention.

 

[Taosman]

He didn't play the whole game or it seemed like, a lot, so maybe he's nursing an injury of some sort?

 

[cdiddy70]

Sure your not confusing Marcus Williams?

He went down with what appeared to be a significant injury v Zook.

I have not heard a peep on the actual prognosis.

 

[Taosman]

The official participation report has him in. No tackles.

Tressel made no mention of him during his Thursday team update today, so I don't think he's injured or nursing an injury.

Thanks...maybe my friend meant Marcus Williams.

That makes a lot more sense. Marcus Williams was hurt in that game. I think it was on special teams. I could have sworn I saw Nathan playing as late as the 4th quarter and he looked fine.

True story. Apparently, somebody stole Kurt's dinner roll and he was on a rampage, Nathan confessed to it to take the heat off of a friend and Kurt gave him the business as a result.

Replay shows Marcus Williams getting his knee iced down from a special teams play.

After watching film from the last few games, Nathan has made a lot of big plays in the backfield and around the line of scrimmage. I've been really impressed by his first step off the snap of the ball, his ability to shed blockers, to get into the backfield and disrupt plays and he's shown solid tackling to this point. A lot of people suggested that he would be one of the surprise players in his class. He's showing that already just into his Soph. year.
