Tyler Williams

As a College Recruit

Former basketball-first athlete who blossomed as a wide receiver after transferring to powerhouse Lakeland High as a junior. Has a natural, well-rounded skill set at receiver. A big, fluid mover at around 6-foot-3, 200 pounds. Has plus length for the position with 33.5-inch arms. Draws on his basketball background to win at the catch point. High-points and attacks the ball in contested situations. Shows good lateral agility and spatial awareness as a runner after the catch. Made plays as a senior as a receiver, return man and even on direct snaps while helping Lakeland to a state title. Continues to be a top basketball player, averaging over 15 points per game as a junior. Will need to continue progressing in the technical aspects of his game given his lack of football focus to this point. Not as productive as most other top wide receivers with 399 yards and six receiving touchdowns as a senior with a relatively low number of targets.
