WR Jameson Williams (transfer to Alabama, Detroit Lions)

No. I just don't see this happening. They're not playing walk-ons at CB.

Williams is Paris Campbell but a much more natural WR. Use practice time installing screens, intermediate passes, and more crossing routes with him. You will gain a whole new dimension to this offense and be much more dangerous.


I have not heard anyone say a peep about Ronnie "Rocket" Hickman who played both safety and corner coming in...

Ohio State 2019 Class Report — WR Jameson Williams

Jameson-Williams-touchdown.jpg


Jameson Williams went to Cardinal Ritter College Prep in St. Louis, Missouri where he was the No. 82 player in the 247Sports Composite and the No. 13 receiver in the nation. He was also the top player in the state. Williams chose Ohio State over offers from Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, Michigan, LSU, Texas, USC, Western Michigan, and more.

2019 Season

Williams was one of two wide receivers signed by the Buckeyes in the 2019 class, joining 5-star Texas prospect Garrett Wilson. Wilson got the attention because of his recruiting rankings, but Williams was no slouch as a Top 100 player himself. His speed is legitimate, posting a personal best 10.54 100 meters in high school.

Williams didn’t arrive at OSU until the summer, which put him behind just about every other scholarship receiver on the roster. He still played in every game for the Buckeyes in 2019, catching six passes for 112 yards and a touchdown.

That touchdown was a 61-yard catch and run that gave people flashbacks of Ted Ginn Jr.

If you’ve forgotten, here’s the reminder.



He lost his black stripe fairly early in fall camp last year. How did he do it?

“First off, I think he’s got some competitiveness in him,” OSU head coach Ryan Day said back in August. “He’s tough. He’s obviously got a lot of long-end speed. He can really run, and he’s been doing a good job. He’s stepped right up. He has the mentality that he wants to come in here and play as a freshman, which I can appreciate. He’s doing a good job on special teams and he’s mixing it up right away.

“He’s still got a lot to learn. Made a bunch of mental mistakes today but again, he’s a freshman and still learning. But he’s got the right attitude, and he’s going hard, so we can work with that.”

Jameson Williams will have splashy spring
Chris Olave is looking for redemeption. Garrett Wilson is looking to break out and become a national superstar. The four early-enrolled freshmen are looking to live up to high expectations. No one is looking at Jameson Williams — and that, my friends, is a mistake. Williams had flashes of what he’s capable of during his freshman season, but inconsistency catching the football overshadowed the fact that he was close to uncoverable in his limited opportunities. Those opportunities are going to increase exponentially, and Williams is only going to be better physically than he was before he arrived on campus.

Jameson Williams ‘Can’t Wait’ to Show What He Can Do for Buckeyes

Jameson-Williams.jpg


It was a fourth-quarter pass from Gunnar Hoak in the Miami game when Buckeye fans got their first good look at the potential possessed by receiver Jameson Williams.

Then just a freshman, Williams ran an in-route on second and six and Hoak hit him right at the hashes. Williams had to go up for the catch, and when he came down, he planted his right leg and reversed course to the sideline he had just come from. The corner was playing over top of Williams and was closer to the middle of the field than Williams, which meant that he was out of position as soon as Williams planted and turned upfield.

It was over in mid-air. As soon as he decided to plant the leg and reverse course, as the great Brent Musburger would have said, “This baby’s over, this race.”

Williams hit his top speed pretty quickly and went untouched as a pair of corners could only wish him well on his travels.

Any time a freshman does that early in his career, the possibilities start to get imagined.

Despite that 61-yard touchdown in the fourth game of the season, Jameson Williams finished with just six catches for 112 yards and one touchdown. He caught passes in just two games, but such was life for a receiver playing behind Chris Olave and Austin Mack.

Williams did see more time while Mack was dealing with injuries, but that initial flash wasn’t seen again in 2019.

The lack of plays after the Miami game wasn’t a surprise. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day even said on signing day over a year ago that Williams — who didn’t enroll until the summer — may need a year of seasoning before he’s truly ready.

Day was right, but Williams made the most of that seasoning by learning from Mack, Olave, Binjimen Victor, KJ Hill, and more. On both offense and special teams.

“It’s a really big learning curve,” Williams said recently of his freshman season. “I took a lot of mental reps from watching the older guys. Every practice I was watching the guys. I’d watch KJ one play, Chris one play, Ben one play, Mack one play. Watching everybody. So it was a real learning experience on the offensive side. On the special teams side, it was a whole lot of fun. I go hard on special teams for my brothers. They got me, I got them.”

SKULL SESSION: JAMESON WILLIAMS TALKS IMPROVEMENT, C.J. STROUD SHOWS OFF HIS LEADERSHIP AT ELITE 11, AND KYLE YOUNG FINDS A PURPOSE AT OHIO STATE

THE OTHER TOP-100 RECEIVER
. It's hilarious to think that Ohio State has such an embarrassment of riches at one position that fans could kind of just forget about former top-100 player in the country coming out of high school, but I honestly think that's where we're at with Jameson Williams.

With four shiny new top-100 players coming in, Chris Olave returning as the veteran leader and Garrett Wilson owning the hype as the super soph stepping into the slot role, the guy who looks like Ted Ginn Jr., Jr. has kinda been tossed to the backburner. But after a year of getting better, I don't think he'll spend too much time in the back of folks' minds.

“It’s a really big learning curve,” Williams said recently of his freshman season. “I took a lot of mental reps from watching the older guys. Every practice I was watching the guys. I’d watch KJ one play, Chris one play, Ben one play, Mack one play. Watching everybody. So it was a real learning experience on the offensive side. On the special teams side, it was a whole lot of fun. I go hard on special teams for my brothers. They got me, I got them.”

Williams very nearly made an impact on special teams a time or two, just missing a block here and there. He did play on the coverage team last year, finishing with a pair of tackles.

Whatever he could do for the team, he was willing to do. Some of it was harder than others.

“I started off on scout team during camp,” he said. “That’s one of the hardest things I ever did. Running routes against Damon Arnette, Jeff Okudah, Shaun Wade. Trying to go against Josh Proctor. Trying to run a route on them for me was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. But it made me better. It has helped me. I learned things that I can do to win those battles.”

Again, it's hilarious that *this* is the player that's flying under the radar, but I promise that speaks more to the wide receivers than it does Jameson Willimas.

This is fun, isn't it?
