Surprised to see him here? Don’t be. Trae made teams pay over and over again for trying to pick on him instead of Mike Jenkins.
Trae Williams, CB (2004-07)
Trae Williams played most of his USF career with a target on his back. When you line up at cornerback opposite Mike Jenkins, and opposing defenses decide they won’t even try throwing in that direction, those passes have to go somewhere. It put Williams on the spot to make plays. He made a ton of them.
For someone who ended up being so gifted at taking the ball away from the offense, it might surprise you that when Williams was recruited to USF out of Plant City’s Durant High School, it was to play offense.
