  Draft Scout by Conference









  Left alone to stew in the darkness of his abrupt free fall into an afterthought last fall, Kyren Williams doubled down on who he believed he could be in a Notre Dame uniform someday. In the weeks and months that followed, the now-Notre Dame sophomore running back even managed to exceed his own lofty expectations. On Tuesday during a Zoom conference call with the media, Irish head coach Brian Kelly let the college football world know just how much Williams had exceeded them. "Kyren Williams has really emerged as somebody we feel right now has gained an advantage as the top back right now," Kelly said of a player who had all of five touches as a freshman in 2019 and none after game 2 of that season. "He's going to require, obviously, some assistance at that position from a number of other guys. We're not just going to feature one back. But Kyren's done a great job."

Williams gives Notre Dame a better version of himself than the Irish saw at any time from him as an early enrollee, and an impressive one at that in the time leading up to the 2019 season. He had bulked up to 204 pounds after his senior season in high school, figuring he'd need the extra bulk to absorb the punishing blows from college defenders, and was pushing 210 on his 5-9 frame when he first met up with Stanfield in the spring. "He's in the 193-195 range now," Stanfield said. "But the biggest difference in who he was and who he is now is speed. Straight-line speed. He always had the agility to make people miss, but now he can run away from them, too." - South Bend Tribune
