[QUOTE="Consigliere, post: 5704986, member: 559"]
He called me almost immediately after entering the portal. Had been accepted into the master’s program at Newhouse and hated to give that up. Said he likely had one more year to play football in his life and wanted to see the field. Had nothing to do with anything other than that. Visited KU and loved it. Had other offers and planned on visiting Duke and Georgia Tech but Leipold told him he couldn’t guarantee a spot would remain open so he committed on the spot. 
Williams had him ranked no worse than the second best offensive lineman  in spring ball until the week before the spring game when he dropped him to eighth with no explanation and no guidance on what areas of his game needed improvement to move back up.

So happy things worked out for him in Lawrence and his dream of having a shot at playing in the NFL are about to become a reality. Widely expected to be a Day 3 pick with a very slight chance of climbing as high as late fourth round. Still chat with Enrique and family regularly and will try to make a preseason game to tailgate together if things work out. 
Now we need to get an offer out to Liam. He’s class of 2028 and has already been offered by Miami and Arizona State. Having a former Bears coach replace Williams can’t hurt!
