Did D. Williams play LB in highschool? Seems to me with Guice being the lead back next year and after playing behind LF7 and now Guice he would be open to moving to defense. If D. White can do it seems D. Williams could as well.

I think we recruited him as a potential LB which is why he committed to Arizona St because they would give him the chance at RB. Then we told him he could play RB and he committed here. I don't think he's gonna go for that though.

I think he would grad transfer if they tried that. He could start and pile up a lot of yards for the right Group of 6 team.

No he played Running Back and had better numbers and against stronger competition then did Fournette. Fournette got the ink and Williams got the yardage!!

He will get plenty of touches at RB next year and we will need him there.

When is the last time a drastic position change worked for someone late in their career here? Not talking during or just after 1st season.

Hilliard had the chance a few years back and didn't . I wouldn't think this will be any different . Also we need the depth at RB

It'a probably too late to move him to LB.

D. Williams is not flashy, but he's a solid player who will contribute next year. Admittedly, as a runner, he's not the same class as Guice or Fournette, but he's still valuable. Among other things, he blocks well (including pass protection), runs hard, has good hands and is a good third down back. We'll need him next year.
