Yesterday’s big news was the incoming transfer of running back Antonio Williams from Ohio State. Hailing from New London, N.C., Williams was the 7th-ranked running back in the country for the 2016 recruiting cycle, according to 247.
How We Got Here
A longtime UNC commit, Williams flipped his pledge from UNC to Wisconsin on December 5, 2014...and then flipped again, to the Buckeyes, in October of his senior year. Stories that start with two rescinded verbal commitments rarely have a happy ending, but Williams is somewhat different.
Williams amassed six carries for 28 yards in 2016— all in a blowout win over Rutgers early in the season.
