Deontai Williams finally found a home at Nebraska and now aims to be an all-around safety

Defensive back Deontai Williams listens to coaches during Nebraska football practice Tuesday at Hawks Championship Center.

There are circuitous routes in recruiting, and then there's the path Deontai Williams took to eventually wind up at Nebraska.

The four-star Class of 2015 safety verbally committed to Florida while he was in high school, but flipped to Georgia in the summer of 2014. The Florida Times-Union reported that the Bulldogs never sent Williams a National Letter of Intent due to academic concerns, and Williams signed to play for Frank Solich at the University of Ohio.
