The 6-foot, 200-pound Williams is rated as a three-star prospect, the No. 80 running back prospect in the nation and the No. 188 prospect from the state of Florida, according to 247Sports. The running back currently holds double-digit offers including scholarships from Kentucky, Tennessee, Boston College, Colorado and North Carolina.
Williams’ commitment gives the Razorbacks 10 total commitments for the 2017 recruiting class.
As a high school junior, Williams ran for 664 yards on only 59 carries and scored 12 touchdowns on the season. Judging by his junior season highlight reel, Arkansas may have gotten in early with a very solid running back prospect:
