It is painfully obvious that there is nobody on the Cougars' current roster — with eligibility, at least — who possesses the kind of speed, instincts and explosiveness that Williams displayed in three years with the program.
Junior Algernon "Algie" Brown, the Skyline High product, almost certainly will get the most carries, if he can stay healthy. However, Brown, listed at 6-foot-1 and 246 pounds, is about 30 pounds heavier than Williams.
Brown said Monday that he lost 7-8 pounds in the offseason and is faster and quicker than he was in 2014, when he picked up 324 yards on 68 carries.
