Notre Dame WR commit Cam Williams is new 5-star in updated On3 Industry Ranking

After the latest rankings updates from other recruiting services, Glen Ellyn (Ill.) Glenbard South wide receiver Cam Williams is now a five-star prospect in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Williams, a Notre Dame commit, is now the No. 26 overall prospect in the cycle and is one of 32 five-star prospects in the class. He’s also now the No. 8 wideout and No. 2 player in Illinois. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder committed to the Fighting Irish back on June 29, 2022.

“It just felt right. When you know, you know. A few days after the Irish Invasion, I made the decision. I know Notre Dame is the place for me,” Williams told On3. “Notre Dame is a special place with a special culture and it is the place for me. All the schools on my list are great, but Notre Dame is different. Notre Dame is where I want to be.”

Williams is now the lone five-star recruit in Notre Dame’s 2024 recruiting class, which ranks No. 7 in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Ranking. Other top-100 prospects pledged to the Irish include West Roxbury (Ma.) Catholic Memorial four-star offensive tackle Guerby Lambert, Saline (Mich.) four-star quarterback CJ Carr and Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco four-star linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa.

Williams has an On3 NIL Valuation of $179K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Cam Williams Scouting Summary

“Athletic receiver who creates big plays in a variety of ways. Has good size, measuring around 6-foot-1, 185 pounds as a junior. Owns plus length at the position, with arms over 33 inches. Has clocked 40-yard dash times in the 4.4’s at college camps. An easy, twitchy mover who shows the ability to separate vertically and take the top off of opposing defenses. Shows the ability to change gears on vertical routes. Also proves to be dangerous after the catch. Runs with tempo and pace as a ball-carrier. Looks to be a strong YAC receiver with the ability to maximize yardage with the ball in his hands. Turned in a productive junior season with 882 yards and 13 touchdowns on 44 catches. Has a very strong multi-sport background as a standout in basketball and track.

…Shows some above-the-rim bounce on the hardwood. A very strong athlete in track, running a 10.86 second 100 meter mark as a junior and posting a 6-foot-5 high jump as a sophomore. Can continue refining some of the technical aspects of his game like route-running and consistently high-pointing the football, though he has shown some flashes with the latter. Looks to have high physical upside as a multi-dimensional receiver pending further skill development.”
