What position best suits Miami Hurricanes’ five-star recruit James Williams in college?

American Heritage five-star recruit James Williams, who committed to the Miami Hurricanes last week, possesses one of the rare combinations of elite size and athleticism for a high school safety.

Being 6 foot 5 and 220 pounds entering his senior year, a common question surrounding him is if he will outgrow the position and have to move closer to the line of scrimmage or if his stature can be more beneficial remaining in the secondary.

Williams’ last two high school coaches, American Heritage’s Patrick Surtain and Western’s Adam Ratkevich, see him sticking at safety at UM because his size does not affect his mobility.
