Razorback DT target an 'animal' on the field

Highly recruited defensive tackle Carl Williams, who’s on an official visit to Arkansas, is one of the strongest prospects in Texas.

Williams, 6-4, 324 pounds of Lufkin, Texas, used his overpowering strength to record 56 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 4 sacks and 3 forced fumbles as a junior.

At the Texas High School Powerlifting Association state meet on March 24, Williams bench pressed 360 pounds, squatted 655 and had a 600-pound dead lift for a total of 1,615 pounds.

Defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator Cam Davis said Williams’ brute force is a key component of who he is.
