Over the course of three years, it always seemed that the Louisville football starting running back position was just a fingertip away for Dae Williams.
Two years ago, Dae Williams was the name that everyone was talking about during Spring Practice as the former two-star back out of Oklahoma burst onto the scene, making a name for himself when the Cards needed a start to emerge alongside of Lamar Jackson. An injury put that on hold.
Last year, Dae Williams spent the entire spring and summer being talked about as “the guy” at running back for Louisville in the first season without Lamar Jackson, as the shift from a qb run-heavy offense to a more traditional scheme seemed to benefit the 6’2, 229 pound back who was built in the mold of former legend Michael Bush.
