There is some chatter out there about Tyrone Williams. I wanted to give my take on it.
I think this kid is special. I like Prater better but Williams is the next best receiver in the region. I have not broken down the national kids at receiver yet but I would list them as Split ends and Flankers/slots, but I would call it a really great year nationally if I do not have Tyrone Williams in the national top 10 as a splite end. He got hurt last year and has not been doing the camp/combine circuit. He is such a strong Buckeye lean that that could be why the Buckeyes are not pursuing Prater. It is an explanation for the lack of interest.The Buckeyes do not have anyone on the board right now that qualifies as a split end offer.
He claims he has an offer. He says Taver Johnson called and told him he was going to see an offer in writing in the next few days after this conversation happened. He said he received the offer. There is some speculation that he is misinterpreting the offer. He is one of those kids who we see every now and then who thinks a letter is an offer. First, Johnsons call saying Williams was to receive an offer in the next few days is very hard to misinterpret. I had someone ask me if maybe Johnson said "letter" and the kid assumed that the letter was an offer. That does not make sense either. There is no reason for Johnson to call him just to say hello and tell him he was sending him a letter. I have never heard of a coach calling ahead to tell a player he was sending him a letter. Not ever. Secondly, the kid has official written offers. He knows what an offer letter looks like. He knows what is says.
This comes down to a conditional offer. He gets it done in the classroom, he is a Buckeye.
