Matt Rhule Might’ve Found his Haason Reddick With Incoming Freshman Will Williams

I’m not saying it’s likely, but if Baylor wanted to hide Haason Reddick’s little brother, they’d probably name him Will Williams and stash him out in El Paso.

Williams, being from El Paso, is exactly the type of recruit that recruiting services are not designed to accurately rate. As Ian Boyd argues in the linked article, recruiting services (and to a large extent, CFB programs themselves) are not built to scout the entire country, so they tend to (understandably) focus on “recruiting hotbeds,” while effectively ignoring rural, hard-to-get-to locales with players who are even harder to evaluate.
