Is Eli Drinkwitz gearing up for another impressive recruiting spree? Signs point to yes.

Just a day following 4-star offensive lineman Henry Fenuku’s commitment to the Tigers’ 2025 class, Corey Batoon successfully recruited Dyllon Williams, a highly sought-after high 3-star prospect within the SEC conference.

Interestingly, when examining Williams’ recruiting profiles, Missouri wasn’t frequently listed among the top schools vying for his commitment. However, that’s the allure of being a top 10 program, isn’t it? When you make the call, players tend to take notice. Not only do they answer the call, but they also pay attention to what you have to convey.

Now, let’s delve deeper into the background of Missouri’s latest commit.

Wow, that highlight reel sure showcases plenty of strong tackles, doesn’t it?

What’s exciting about Williams’ tape is his willingness to display various facets of his game. In many high school highlight reels, players often tend to overly highlight just one or two aspects they excel at. Conversely, Williams presents us with a diverse array of his skills.

He demonstrates his readiness to blitz the backfield and deliver impactful hits from the defensive backfield. He can also line up on the outside in a cornerback role, covering opposing team’s receivers effectively. His ability to perform in zone coverage is notable, and he doesn’t hesitate to adjust his play on the fly if the situation demands it.

When Williams reads a play, he acts decisively. Despite his size, he exhibits impressive closing speed, allowing him to deliver powerful tackles on smaller playmakers. While he may need to bulk up to tackle bigger SEC opponents, his speed suggests he’s ready to compete in the SEC from the get-go.
