By Steve Helwagen....William discusses his recent visit to Columbus for the combine. He will have to consider basketball more if he continues to grow. Has played WR, OLB, and DE.

All Buckeye if, well....WHEN, we offer at this point.

Reminds me of Ed "Too Tall" Jones.

Interview with William when he was in Columbus for Nike Camp. Says Ohio State #1, talks about schools of interest and how he felt he did in the camp. Says he is mainly looking at the Big Ten because he likes to hit.

From SpartanMag....Talks about his interest in Michigan State and about his experience at their July football camp. Says that the coaches there would allow him to play football and basketball. William put up the top combined speed and power numbers on the blocking sled, out of all the tight ends at the camp as well.

Keep up the good work William!

First post needs updated with measurables.

But is it safe to say that this recruitment should end shortly after he receives an offer?

Can't hurt that his cousin just signed for $21 million guaranteed today...

He's getting too tall for football, and he's too heavy for basketball. He may have to move to the offensive line.

It depends on how much more he grows. Some of the most dominant DE in the NFL are 6'6 pushing 6'7. Jared Allen, Jason Taylor, Mario Williams, Julius Peppers and Richard Seymore to name a few. Calais Campbell is 6'8 290 lbs.

If he plays low and his pad level is low height isn't an issue.

TE could be a possibility. With his height and athleticism, he could really put a strain on opposing D's. Fragel is 6'8" and Ballard is a shade under 6'7" so height isn't an issue there.

Uh, if he's "too tall for football", how can he play offensive line?

If the listed height in the first post is correct then yes. I think the person was getting at "if he grew." It was mentioned in one of the articles on Gholston if I'm not mistaken.

New article up on SpartanMag.

Offered on 9/1 by the Spartans and feels most comfortable in East Lansing.

Going to the ND game this weekend.
