How ascending safety Cameron Williams’ path to Washington was impacted by a two-minute tape

Cameron Williams’ recruitment was redirected by two minutes of tape.

Two minutes and four seconds, to be specific. When he reluctantly published the highlight on March 3, 2018, Williams — now an early enrollee freshman at Washington — still considered himself a quarterback. After all, he had been the starting varsity signal caller for the previous two seasons at Bakersfield (Calif.) High School. Heck, he even earned a scholarship offer from Rich Rodriguez to play quarterback at Arizona prior to his sophomore season.

It’s true, the 6-foot, 185-pound soon-to-be high school senior also dabbled on defense. But his future was under center.
