WR/DB Eric Glover-Williams (transfer to Mississippi Gulf Coast CC, transfer to Slippery Rock)

[ScriptOhio]

Sad to hear, but I'm sure he'll end up at another D1 school on scholarship. The writing has been on the wall that he may leave for a while, IMO. He could never get solid PT or a true position. And even moving sides put him in a bigger log jam. And he's obviously been recruited over. Best of luck EGW(I quietly hope he ends up at UC with Fickell)

Yeah, hopefully he gets his "off the field" issues corrected and gets another chance.

With his potential I'd think another school would give him a 2nd chance.

Just sayin': If all else fails there is always as a last resort......

Good for EGW, hope he gets his degree and then moves on from there. It’dbe awesome to make it to the NFL , but his chances have diminished, still wish him the best of luck

ERIC GLOVER-WILLIAMS, WIDE RECEIVER, SLIPPERY ROCK
Glover-Williams was an interesting case from the beginning. He started his Ohio State career entering as an "athlete," before becoming a defensive back. Then, he was moved to wide receiver. Ultimately, he was dismissed from the team due to off-field issues.

After a stint at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, he is now enrolled at Slippery Rock University, a Division-II institution.

So far this season, Glover-Williams has recorded 26 tackles, three pass breakups, and an interception.

He is also the kick/punt returner for Slippery Rock, and has made some big plays on special teams.

SKULL SESSION: DWAYNE HASKINS' DECISION MAKING, PUTTING HOOPS STRUGGLES IN PERSPECTIVE, AND ERIC GLOVER-WILLIAMS' NFL POTENTIAL

EGW TO THE NFL? I watched Eric Glover-Williams play in high school and was unreasonably stoked for whatever he was going to do at Ohio State.

That obviously never worked out, but now he's doing whatever he wants to on the football field over at slippery rock, and his coach, Shawn Lutz, thinks he can play his way into the NFL.

From Joe Scalzo of the Canton Repository:

“He has a chance to play at that next level; that’s how good Eric Glover-Williams is for us,” said Lutz, a former Jackson High School standout who walked on at West Virginia and earned scholarship. “He is a natural defensive back. Basically what we tell him to do is, ‘You cover that guy and you take his butt out of the game.’ He does that.”

Glover-Williams finished with 42 tackles (33 solo), 4.5 tackles for loss and three interceptions. He also returned 14 punts for a 10.7-yard average and 12 kickoffs for a 21.6-yard average.

″(One of my coaches) tells me I need to use him more at everything,” Lutz said. “He’s phenomenal.

...

Lutz plans to use Glover-Williams on offense as well this season, which will be his last at Slippery Rock.

“It’s real easy — just give him the ball and have him go,” Lutz said. “He does that really well.”

...

“Whatever happened at Ohio State, happened at Ohio State,” Lutz said. “All i know is, when I get the chance to meet the young man, if he says he’s going to do right, I hold him to that. He’s done a great job with us and I just want to make sure he graduates. He could have an opportunity in the NFL. His size will be the determining factor on if he could make that next step.”

First off, as a casual and distant observer, I'm all in on him playing some offense. I got a mere glimpse of him touching the ball in a random spring game and feel cheated that I never got to see him house a jet sweep, or die trying.

Second, I think he's absolutely talented enough to make it to the NFL and Slippery Rock is a perfectly fine launch point for that NFL career.
