Mykel Williams turns in dominant week at All-American Bowl, earning On3 MVP honors
Mykel Williams came to the All-American Bowl as the No. 4 overall prospect in the On300. He might’ve out-played that lofty ranking at the All-American Bowl. The 6-foot-5, 265-pounder was dominant from start to finish. Williams has a complete skill set as an interior pass rusher. He combines high-end first-step quickness and plus length with quick hands, a catalog of pass rush moves and a motor that runs hot. William’s 1-on-1 session during Thursday’s joint practice may be the most dominant stretch we saw from a prospect in either national all-star game. Williams’ fantastic week carried over to Saturday’s game. He lived in the backfield all afternoon, showing his ability as an interior pass rusher while also playing some on the edge. Williams finished with several plays behind the line of scrimmage, including a sack against his future Georgia teammate, Earnest Greene. In all, the five-star’s showing was among the best we’ve seen from a defensive lineman in this setting in a few years.
