WILLIAMS IS A AN “ANIMAL”
When Tyleik Williams committed to Ohio State in the last week of August, it didn’t just catch fans and some writers off guard. It was also a surprise to the 2021 group of commits.

“I didn’t even know he was committing to us, for real,” Ohio State running back commit TreVeyon Henderson told Eleven Warriors. “It was a shocker because somebody hit me up in the group chat and said he was committing to us, and I hadn’t heard anything about it. It was pretty much a shocker.”

Henderson, who played at Hopewell High School before Virginia’s 2020 fall season was pushed to the spring, has never played Williams and his Unity Reed team before. However, once he hard the news of the nose tackle’s impending commitment, Henderson turned on some clips of his film and was impressed.

Sometime after that, once Williams’ made it official, he was brought into the fold with open arms by the 2021 commits.

“Since he committed, we’ve been talking in the commits’ group chat,” Henderson said. “It was a welcome to the family (message).”

Henderson is not the lone future Buckeye to be impressed with the 6-foot-3, 330-pound four-star prospect.

“Watching his film, he’s an animal,” Ohio State quarterback commit Kyle McCord told Eleven Warriors. “He’s 6-3 and moves really well for his size. It was kind of out of the blue, honestly. Nobody really talked to him before he committed, but his film is really impressive. I think he’s flown under the radar a little bit with recruiting, but I’m really happy that he’s on board. He’s a great kid to talk to off the field. He fits right in with the personality of the class. He’s a really good fit in the class on and off the field, so I’m really excited that he committed.”



Williams joins Jack Sawyer and Mike Hall as the third prong of Ohio State’s defensive line class, with Williams and Hall anchoring the middle of the line.

“Not really. Just getting a feel for him. A little bit about him,” Hall told Eleven Warriors when asked if he has spoken much with Williams. “I really can't talk about him too much. But seems like a great person to be around and definitely a great commit.”
