Twitter feed: @jameswill2020
Hometown: Athens, Ga.
High School: Athens Academy
Position: Punter
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 182 lbs.
Commitment date: June 19, 2019
Ratings: Three stars by ESPN and Rivals but ranked the #2 punter by Kohl’s Kicking
Other offers: Williams picked Syracuse over Air Force, Army, and Hawaii
Dino’s predicted nickname: Going to go with “Hang Time” as Dino wants to stress that when it comes to punting, net is best.
Highlights:
Player outlook: With the graduation of Sterling Hofrichter the expectation is that Williams will be the Orange’s punter in 2020. Syracuse has certainly been spoiled by having Hofrichter but the hope is that Williams can continue the tradition of outstanding kickers in the Dome.
