After leading the team in rushing as a freshman in 2014, Boom Williams shares the starting running back responsibilities with JoJo Kemp in the post-spring depth chart and many project him to be the breakout star in the SEC this upcoming season.
Today, Mark Stoops raved about his sophomore back, saying Williams is the game-breaker Kentucky needs.
“Boom is a guy that has exceptional talent,” Stoops told the media in Hoover earlier today. “He has that game-breaking capability that you’re looking for. Very excited about him.”
However, like with all of Stoops’ players, there is still room to improve.
