    The Texas Linebacking corps just got stronger-

    Michael Williams
    Lindale (TX)

    position
    Weakside defensive end


    height 6-foot-4
    weight 225 pounds
    40-yard dash 4.6 seconds



    Bio Notes and Stats: Williams has seemingly come out of nowhere to become one of the Lone Star State's top prospects. A terrific athlete, Williams starts at wide receiver and linebacker for Lindale and is among the top athletes in East Texas.

    Here is last year DB analysis from Hornfans.com-

    DEFENSIVE BACK

    Need for Class of 2001: After landing only 1 FS and 1 CB last year (although both were great), Texas needed bigger numbers, especially at CB, this year.



    CB Cedric Griffin
    CB Aaron Ross
    CB/S Michael Huff
    SS Rufus Harris
    SS Kendall Briles

    Grade: A Texas really landed exactly what they needed this year. Quality numbers at the CB position, including three tall very fast CB's in Griffin, Ross and Huff. Ross just took his first test in January, but most expect him to qualify. They also really needed a strong safety to take over for Greg Brown/Lee Jackson, and landed a big hitter in Rufus Harris and an athletic big winner in HS in Kendall Briles.

    I'm not sure Briles played. Expect Ross, Griffin, or Huff to take Jammer's spot. Harris and Briles will be the back up safeties.

    Williams was thought to be an OU lean.
