On Wednesday, the Scarlet Knights secured the commitment of Timber Creek High School linebacker Tyreek Williams. Originally slated as a Buffalo commit, Williams decided to back out earlier in the week. Once he became a free agent, so to speak, Rutgers swooped in quickly to try and get him on board. As it turned out, it didn't take long for Williams to sign up with RU.
Williams was slated to pay an official visit to Rutgers this weekend where he was widely expected to commit. However, after talking things over with those close to him, Williams had a thought: Why not do it right here and now?
