“I’m not going to lie, I get tired of talking about last year,” Alford said last offseason when asked about the lack of recruiting a highly-ranked running back. “Good, bad or indifferent. I will tell you this, next year, I’ll get tired of talking about this class. But I will say this when you want to talk about last year’s class: Miyan Williams is a really good player.

“I’m really excited to have Miyan Williams in our room, in our group and a part of our football team. I want to make sure that is very clear.”

“Oh, man. Miyan, he's been great,” NFL-bound tailback Trey Sermon said a few weeks ago. “I've just seen him improve from when we started camp. You could tell like a freshman coming in he was like a little bit lost, just trying to learn everything. And just to see how far he's come, he just makes plays and he plays with so much energy and emotion. I mean, it just gets everybody motivated and hyped up. It's a good thing to see.”

Just came here because of this article.... seriously after rewatching his Clemson run I cant wait to see this guy next year and I would not be shocked if he's RB1. His change of direction due to his height is elite and obviously he's a strong runner too. The article mentions he lost 21 pounds? That means he was once nearly 250 at 5 foot 8?

Personally I think he can be a JK type if he drops another 10 or so and gets to 5 foot 8 220 pounds. Exactly the kind of frame JK has but due to his natural size being 230+ he probably would be a stronger 220 than JK who was always a very lean 220.

Regardless of whether he’s the No. 1, 2 or 3 running back on the depth chart, it would be a surprise if Williams doesn’t have a substantive rule in Ohio State’s offense this year. Although Ohio State has usually had a two-man running back rotation with Alford as running backs coach, a three-back rotation featuring some combination of Williams, Teague and Henderson seems like a possibility this year, at least early in the season until one or two running backs start to separate themselves as the Buckeyes’ best.

“You're going to need three backs that can play championship football for us,” offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said at the end of spring.

Williams appears to have established himself as a player who’s too promising not to have at least some role in the offense this season. That’s not a sentence that’s often written about a three-star recruit going into just his second year at Ohio State, but it is a testament to how much of an impression he’s made since he arrived on campus last June.

Pair and a spare will work as long as the spare knows he's the spare and is content with that. But with the talent we have, there may be a serious rotation and the spare could eventually be apart of the pair.

Miyan Williams is affectionately called “Meatball” by his Ohio State teammates and coaches, which might be one of the better nicknames in college football. The 5-foot-8, 227-pound second-year running back was impressive in limited duty as a true freshman in 2020, carrying 10 times for 64 yards.

"Fat Boy" to "Bowling Ball" to "Meatball" to "Chop".....:boogie:

“He’s very serious about his football,” Day said. “It means a lot to him. He is low-maintenance, high-effort, and has a lot of talent. The more we can get him reps, the more he can play, the better off he’s gonna be. But I think he has a chance to be special.”
