WR T.Y. (Tyrone) Williams (official thread)

T.Y. Williams might be one of the early turnaround stories for football coach Urban Meyer at Ohio State, at least if he keeps catching passes. It?s something the sophomore didn?t do often last year, in practice or games.

Williams made enough strides to get on the field late in the season, but he didn?t make the Gator Bowl trip, having been suspended for a violation of team rules. Some thought that Williams? days with the Buckeyes were numbered, as Meyer worked to cull the roster during the attrition process that accompanies a coaching change.

Not only is Williams still around, but he has caught passes thrown his way this spring, at least while the media has been allowed to watch. And in a special-teams drill this week in which downfield blocking was an emphasis, Meyer pulled Williams aside, gently grabbed his facemask, made a point and sent him on his way with a pat. Coaches generally don?t act that way with players who won?t play.

That said, Meyer still laments that almost halfway through spring practices, no receiver has made him say ?Wow!? In a backhanded way, that would suggest Williams has a shot to do that as much as anyone.

"He?s not there yet, but he?s coming. There?s not many physically gifted receivers that I?ve ever seen at any program or level that is as gifted as that kid, now. I mean, talk about a guy that has ability, he has it." -- Smith

High praise for Tyrone Williams from Zach Smith. :biggrin:

"I will tell you this much, Tyrone Williams this spring was about as average a player as you could have. Not because of talent level, but just because of how he practiced. He was a guy that really was raw, very raw, but I was talking to our strength coach, coach Mick, and the last five practices that kid is a completely different player than I’ve seen. He has really, really impressed everyone. The head coach, me, the staff -- now he’s still got a way to go, but he’s a kid that’s kind of drinking the Kool-Aid right now. He’s bought in and he is doing things he did not do the first six months we were here, and it’s very encouraging.

... you're also forgetting Verlone reed and Chris fields as well being ahead of Williams too. It's sad because Williams could be a dangerous weapon to have for a running/athletic qb.
