Recruitment Recap: Jakhari Williams committed to the Dino Babers staff over the summer. He did not waiver from his commitment throughout the fall. However, when Babers was fired he was relatively quiet about how that would impact his recruitment. Fran Brown and the new staff got in touch with him shortly after taking the job, and set up an official visit for this past weekend. The visit went very well and solidified Williams' commitment to the Orange.
Evaluation:Williams is a true dual threat quarterback who has rushed for over 1,000 yards in back to back seasons in high school. He also ran for double digit touchdowns in those years as well. Do not let that suggest he cannot throw the ball, however. Williams has a very strong arm and has completed over 60% of his passes in the last three seasons. He has excellent feel for pressure, is great at extending plays and has elite vision as a runner. Williams strong arm allows him to push the ball vertically as a passer. As a collegiate quarterback, he will have to work on being more consistent with his accuracy and reading more complex defenses than he sees in high school.
