Brian Borland and Lance Leipold practically rebuilt the entire UB defense overnight this season, thanks in large part to an infusion of young contributors. That wealth of experience from true and redshirt freshmen will make it harder for a similar influx in 2016, but among the defensive recruits, linebacker Tyreek Williams may be the name to learn.
The 6-1, 205-pound tackler is a consensus three-star recruit across the major sites, and can back up his rating with a championship, as Timber Creek won the South Jersey Group 4 championship this season.
Williams boasts FBS offers from Army, Navy, and Temple, interest from every other FBS program in the Northeast, and offers from four more FCS programs to boot.
