MYKELTI WILLIAMS
Indianapolis, IN
Measurables: 6'0", 198 lbs.
Accolades: Indianapolis Star Player of the Year, All-USA Indiana Football Team, 6A All-State team, Top 50 All-State team per coaches as both junior and senior.
Other Impressive Offers: Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Wisconsin
Projected Position:
Quick Take: At a position of need, Williams is a great addition at safety who will be expected to compete nearly immediately. A do-everything athlete who was Indianapolis’ player of the year in one of the more talent-rich seasons, Williams has the ability to drop the hammer in the box or play a more than competent centerfield.
In a defense that needs great football players, that might be the best compliment you can give Williams.
What he means to the Irish: He’s a critical addition to this recruiting class. And while his offer came later in the recruiting cycle than you might expect, he’s another in-state star that will continue Notre Dame’s resurgence in Indiana’s state capital.
Obligatory YouTube Clip: Here’s a look at the do-everything player from Warren Central, Sheldon Day’s alma mater.
