Sacramento City College LB, Russell Williams, Jr, Signs LOI

Post by uhwarriors »

The University of Hawaii football team received a boost to its defense, securing an oral commitment from a junior college linebacker.

Russell Williams Jr. of Sacramento City College said he will sign a letter of intent on Dec. 17, the first day mid-year transfers may put commitments in writing, and join the Warriors in January.

Williams will have four years to play three UH seasons. He met the NCAA's academic requirements as a Laguna Creek High senior.

Williams was being recruited by Fresno State, Colorado, Houston and California. But he chose UH because "I have family out there, the beautiful weather and nice program. I just love football. (Hawaii is) a good football place."

Being able to get in spring practice before the first season is always very beneficial. 4 to play 3 for a JC transfer is the best case scenario. It means he has the academics and 3 years of eligibility.

Looks like he reads his keys quickly and attacks the ball...but will he be able to shed D1 O linemen? Probably needs to add 15 lbs of muscle to play the MLB. Good luck RWJ.

Freaking awesome, this defense needs LB's that can tackle and read and react.

+ make tackles in the open field and in the hole...our LBs missed many tackles b/c of poor angles, not pressing the hole and limited speed.
