UVa recruit can't stop St. Anne's
By Sean McLernon / Daily Progress staff writer
October 28, 2006
J?Courtney Williams knew he couldn?t play at full speed after straining his hamstring in the first half against St. Anne?s-Belfield. That didn?t stop the 6-foot-4, 220-pound linebacker from making an impact on defense.
Williams, who verbally committed to play for Virginia next season, finished with five tackles, all in the second half, and came up with three key stops in third- and fourth-down situations against the Saints.
It wasn?t enough for the Seahorses to get the victory, as STAB eked out a 21-19 win, but Williams did give the CCS offense an opportunity late in the fourth quarter. With five minutes left in the game, Williams brought down STAB?s Colin Pehanick on third-and-4 near midfield to force the Saints to punt with only a two-point lead.
?Even with me being hurt tonight - I couldn?t really move well left to right - but I knew some of their plays and was able to make some key stops,? said Williams, who is ranked the No. 4 player in the state by TheSabre.com.
It?s those on-field smarts - Williams calls it his ?football IQ? - that the linebacker said will be the biggest asset he brings to the Virginia football program next season.
Williams described his commitment to UVa as ?very strong.? He said he had some concerns about his academics but believes he can improve both his 990 SAT score and 2.8 cumulative core GPA. Last season, eight Virginia football recruits were turned away by the UVa admissions office.
?I?m just hoping I get in academic-wise, especially with the situation last year with a lot of the recruits,? Williams said. ?I?m hoping everything?s fine and I?m firm at UVa right now.?
Williams, who attended Virginia?s home loss to Western Michigan on Sept. 13, said it has been hard watching the Cavaliers struggle this season but believes that his class can help turn things around for Virginia.
?It?s been tough, but Coach [Mike] London, Coach [Al] Groh, and Coach [Anthony] Poindexter, they keep me strong in everything, telling me this is the class,? Williams said. ?It?s a rebuilding year, everyone can see that. Jameel Sewell is stepping in at quarterback and he?s getting the job done.?
Williams will likely play strong safety for Virginia and also plays tight end and tailback for Christchurch. He lined up in the backfield three times for the Seahorses, finishing with seven yards, a touchdown and a fumble. He also caught one pass for two yards.
Williams lamented his inability to get more done on offense, and said he could have done more if it wasn?t for the strained hamstring.
?I average at least a touchdown every game, but I couldn?t really do nothing this game,? Williams said.
On the defensive side, Williams broke up a goal-line pass on third down in the first quarter and stuffed Jack Thomasson on a fourth-and-3 on Christchurch?s 38-yard line late in the third quarter.
?He mixes having a lot of speed with a lot of size and he?s a smart football player,? said Christchurch coach Ed Homer of Williams, who runs a 4.65-second 40-yard dash. ?Being as smart as he is and having some good size and good speed, he?s got not one huge thing, but several things that make him a great overall talent.?
