In the end, Jamyest Williams made his college decision between South Carolina and Georgia, but a third school tried to break through on a last-minute Hail Mary.
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer visited Williams at Grayson High School “two or three days” before National Signing Day this year with an interesting proposal.
“He said his running back is entering the draft, and he’s looking for a running back,” Williams told The State. “I told him I wasn’t interested. I told him, ‘That’s not me, man.’ ”
Williams is the crown jewel of the Gamecocks’ 2017 signing class.
