Class of 2016 DT McKinley Williams (FL) SIGNED LOI

[Digger]

a trifecta of 3 kids that weren't expected to commit this weekend. so this is excellent news.

A week ago I was unaware any of these 3 kids existed. Now we have verbals from all 3 and I'm pumped for each one. haha This has been a very fun/exciting recruiting cycle!

I'll be surprised if we don't get more as the weekend continues. I think Black does and hoping Walton will too.

This has opened a pipeline in Dillard HS. Add that to Plant City and if we can get more than a toe into STA , it will be great. Then if we can get into Booker T. Washington, Ft. Lauderdale, Plantation, Miami Central, Miami /Southridge, Deerfield HS. Then we will be in butting heads with the big boys. And that's not to mentioning the mid west schools or New York schools. I would say after tonight, anything is possible. Its a start and a good start.

Love this pickup!!! Kid is really athletic for a DL, can't wait to see him in Orange!

20-30 lbs and this kid will dominate.

 

[O-pulse]

McKinley, Welcome to the Syracuse Football family. Go Orange!

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Can we call him Mount McKinley?

 

[Cuse'91]

Can we call him Mount McKinley?

How about Denali?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

William McKinley has already been taken...

 

[rackman18]

This is definite like a lottery pick. Like CuseOnly wrote, he puts on 20-30 lbs. he will Dominate.

 

[Libero2]

Can we call him Mount McKinley?

I feel it would be unacceptable not too

 

[RF2044]

Great pickup.

Obviously, he has room to grow on that tall frame. Very athletic. But most importantly, I love the wrestling background--those type of prospects make incredible DTs.

He'll need to reshirt, but in three years he'll be a svelte 310 pounds. Love this pickup.

 

[bnoro]

Well bnoro we did enough to change he mine.

That and Pitt might not have a spot for him anymore. On the verge of flipping a DT that just decommitted from U$C when on his Pitt visit.

Oh well, anyways we made out just fine.

 

[NC'cusefan]

Will this kid play DT or will he be able to help right away and play DE, growing into potentially playing DT?

Either way, a nice pickup. Add Foster & Smith to this list and 5 out of 9 is quite a percentage for the weekend.

I was thinking the same thing. He could possibly hold it down on the strong side DE or play in certain packaging.

Just a note... it is Plant High School which is in Tampa, not Plant City which is halfway between Tampa and Lakeland...

Thanks TPL you are right, I get them mixed up sometimes when talking about them. I should know being a snowbird 8 mos down here in Winter Haven.
