Kourt Williams Prepared to Play Any Role Amid Uncertainty On His Position, Future of the Bullet in Ohio State's Defense

Kourt Williams was recruited to play the bullet position at Ohio State. Then the bullet disappeared.

When Williams announced his commitment to Ohio State last July, the bullet was hyped up as a hybrid linebacker-safety position that would be a vehicle for Brendon White to make a big impact for the Buckeyes’ defense in 2019. Once the season began, however, the position faded into obscurity – as Ohio State played the majority of its snaps with three linebackers, three cornerbacks and only one safety – and White, presumably dissatisfied with his playing time, ended up leaving the team and transferring to Rutgers.
